CHDC No Country for Horses

With slaughterhouses closed in the U.S. and lucrative markets for horsemeat in France and Japan, the horse slaughter industry in Canada is booming. It's a controversial business to begin with, and after a lengthy investigation, CBC News has uncovered disturbing information about the way horses are transported, and the way they are slaughtered at one plant. Now, some are asking whether this sector is being properly monitored, and how the slaughter of horses can ever be called humane.

"Help us lead Canada's horses away from barbarism . .
and into the protected pastures of a civilized nation."
