Goal: Stop the horrifying export and murder of farm animals.
Unbeknownst to the general public, Canada is the third-largest exporter of livestock in the world. These animals suffer from inexplicable conditions and neglect while they are shipped around the globe to die in other countries. This disturbing agricultural practice has to stop.
Each year, more than 22 million farm animals are sent from Canada to over 70 countries. While farm animals shipped within Canada are protected, however poorly, by transportation laws, animals shipped internationally are exempt from these regulations. This means livestock can be in transit for any length of time, to anywhere in the world, as long as their basic needs are met. This latter point is the responsibility of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), but Canadian courts have declared that the CFIA has no legal duty to enforce this.
