Canada exports live horses to places like Japan where they are slaughtered for human consumption. The horses endure horrific conditions during the transport.
They exceed the legal limit for time without food and water. Many actually die in transport.
Liberal MP, Tim Louis introduced a private members bill, C-355 which would ban live shipping of horses for slaughter. The bill has passed the House of Commons. Now it is in the hands of the Senate. If it isn't passed before the next election it will be lost and they will have to start over again.

It is really very simple. Shipping live horses is very cruel. The animals suffer. We don't want to see animals suffer, so we should want to end live shipping.
Most Canadians want it to stop. The senate should work to pass this bill quickly. I realize the senate never does anything quickly, but just this once they should make and exception.
