Every year, Canada ships thousands of horses to Japan for slaughter. This rude & hostile sign at one the horses' stops in Manitoba is a reflection of the kind of people involved in this cruel business! 😤 Urge Ag Minister MacAulay to BAN this practice now! ➡️ animaljustice.ca/live-export
Using the basic rights of people, especially those most vulnerable, as a bargaining chip is not only morally bankrupt but a violation of fundamental ethics. @msf.ca strongly denounces this instrumentalization of aid. It is utterly reprehensible, outrageous & abhorrent. #Gaza #BSKY #MedSky
