In 2012, more than 82,000 horses were slaughtered in Canada—that’s nearly 1,600 horses killed each week.
Many were young healthy horses that were sold at auction to the highest bidder - a “killer buyer” working for a slaughterhouse. In fact, over 50% of horses sold at rural auctions go to slaughter.

I had no idea they slaughtered so many horses, and for human consumption... It looks like they recently opened up a new horse only slaughterhouse in Westwold bc.
