Progress in 2009: Hope for Canada's Horses
Natural Meat Company in Neudorf, Saskatchewan, closed its doors in early 2009. We recently learned that Medallion Meats in Westwold, B.C., is under new ownership and is no longer slaughtering horses. While five equine slaughterhouses continue to function in Canada, a new European Commission ruling may have a detrimental effect upon the industry. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has now released the long-awaited health requirements for all slaughter-bound horses in Canada. Read more here.

Help Make History in Canada!
Violations in the horse slaughter industry have been documented and aired--now it's time to meet the next challenge.
Your contribution of $5, $10 or more will help the coalition to cover legal costs aimed at ensuring governmental agencies are held legally accountable, and to stop those agencies from whitewashing the horrors of the equine slaughter industry.
Please note that CHDC is not a charity, and donations are not tax deductible. However, even the smallest contribution that you can afford will help protect the horses of Canada and the U.S. by supporting a legal and political campaign to achieve an end to the slaughter of horses.
Please also note that every dollar donated will go directly to horse protection. (Even the CEO of the coalition works strictly as a volunteer.)
