Canadian singer, songwriter, actor and author Jann Arden is ramping up her campaign against the export and slaughter of horses.

Every year, about 2,500 live horses are shipped from Canada overseas to be fattened up before slaughter.

“The Canadian Horse Defense Coalition doesn’t care what you eat,” Arden with the group HORSESHIT told Global News.

“This isn’t about consumption or monitoring people’s dietary desires. That’s none of our business. This is about terrifying horses, mistreating them. I mean, the word inhumane doesn’t even come close to what they endure.”

Many of the horses are shipped to Japan where basahi, a raw dish, is a pricey delicacy.
