PUT ANIMALS ON THE BALLOT IN THE FEDERAL ELECTION

 

Canada is set to vote in the federal election on April 28—let’s elect lawmakers who will fight for animals and fix Canada’s outdated animal protection laws! Join our special live workshop to learn how you can make a real difference for animals this election.  Date: Thursday, April 3, 2025  Time: 12:00 - 1:00 pm ET  Where: Zoom  Register (free!): animaljustice.ca/election When the federal election was called,  the bill to ban the cruel live horse export industry died. But our work is now even more urgent. With Canadians heading to the polls, we must ensure that horses remain an election priority, and that political leaders take swift action to end this brutal practice after the vote. We just learned devastating news about a recent horse shipment. On February 2, horses were transported from Edmonton to Japan in temperatures as low as -30°C. Covered in frost, they endured a three-hour delay due to a hydraulic lift failure, where they continued to be exposed to the biting cold. When they finally arrived in Japan, a snowstorm caused further delays. For over 28 hours, these horses were confined in overcrowded crates without food, water, or rest—a clear violation of legal limits. Take Action for Horses These cruel and unlawful shipments persist. Despite the Liberal government’s promise over three years ago to ban this cruel industry, the law didn’t pass before the election.  Keep Horses on the Election Agenda! Sign our action alert: Urge federal parties to commit to banning live horse exports immediately after the election. Engage with candidates: If a candidate knocks on your door, ask what they will do to end live horse exports.  Contact candidates directly: Reach out to candidates in your riding and make it clear that your vote depends on their commitment to protecting animals. In 2024, 3,265 Canadian horses were shipped from barren feedlots to Japan for slaughter—a 30 percent increase from 2023, and the highest number in nearly a decade. Speak Up for Horses During the Election Period Horses deserve better. With your support, we can end this abuse.
