Conservative Senators block bill that would ban live export of horses from Canada for slaughter in Japan


100 more horses going for slaughter in Japan from Canada's Edmonton International Airport. The horses came from Grover feedlot near Hanna, so besides the time and stress of being loaded onto the trucks and the 3+ hour drive to Edmonton, they now face the loading onto the plane here and then a grueling journey to Japan. All this without food, water and rest.

Bill C-355 banning live export, is stalled in the Senate, largely due to delaying tactics by several Conservative Senators (led by Senate Opposition Leader, Don Plett).
