“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”. - Mohandas K. Gandhi
I believe it to be true that our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Through all the research I had done regarding women and heart disease, the impact I experienced when I learned of the PMU mare and her foals life (and death) experience was more than enough to deter me from my task at hand. I knew I could not look away from what I had seen and learned about. What caused even more concern for me was learning about the horse slaughter industry that is thriving right here in Canada and below the US border in Mexico. Banning of horse slaughter in the United States has not in any way stopped the slaughter of horses in North America and now poses an even larger problem. Horses destined to slaughter now have to endure the transport to either Canada or Mexico which can be a crippling and debilitating experience...if they arrive alive.

If this issue is one that you wish to move forward with and help put an end to please visit The Canadian Horse Defense web site. Through the pages of this site you will find links directing you to Members of Parliament which you can contact to discuss a bill to end the slaughter of our horses. I welcome you to read on and look forward to your supporting the end of the mass slaughter of horses in our country. ~ Voice for the Horse (We are happy to let you know that Angel now proudly resides in Langley, B.C. which has long been known as the "Horse Capital" of British Columbia. With more than 400 farms in the area that have produced almost 5000 horses, there are more horses in Langley than in any other community in the province. It is so wonderful to see that horse owners on the West Coast are true horse lovers and it shows by all the fine facilities out there caring for our equine companions!

Please take the time to review this material and make a difference in the lives of all our horses in Canada and abroad. Thank You. The National CBC News - No Country For Horses June 10, 2008 - The National CBC News - No Country For Horses - With slaughterhouses closed in the U.S., Canada is now home to a growing horse slaughter industry.
