New hidden camera footage from the Canadian Horse Defense Coalition shows shockingly inhumane and cruel treatment of horses being slaughtered for human consumption.
Footage shot by hidden camera at Natural Valley Farms in Sasketchewan Canada shows the slaughter house worker is not always able to stun the horses properly to render them fully unconscious before they are slaughtered by slitting their throat.
The footage also showed horses slipping on the kill pen floor, which appeared extremely slippery.
"Its legs are spinning around; it's like it's on ice. The legs are just spinning around in circles, it's trying to go backwards, it's trying to go forwards — it's just sheer terror, sheer panic," said a veterinarian who watched the footage on videotape.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency allows for about 5% of animals to wake up during the slaughter process. "There are parts of the animal that are still moving that let you know that for at while at least, it's conscious," he said.
Other violations in the video of Canada's food inspection act including: the transportation of animals on double-decker trailers; horses transported with their horseshoes on and not separated (they hurt each other otherwise); the transportation of horses across the U.S./Canadian border (illegal) and horses unloaded at night without supervision.
The footage also showed evidence of the transportation of lame, blind and starved horses (including a horse with a visible tumor and another with eye cancer) as well as the transportation of a very pregnant mare, and the discovery of a full-term foal in a rendering pit that had been eviscerated by animals.
Finally the video alleges that the horses are not being provided food or water as they wait overnight in pens, are too densely packed.
We are collecting signatures to raise awareness and solidarity around this horrendous issue-- not enough people know about this! Sign and pass on to friends!
