"Donation made in honour of our dear beloved friend, Jill, who passed away in Alberta. And to all the other beautiful horses, like my friend Danny, who have blessed our lives. Please help if you can:"

We welcome Donna Weiss as another celebrity supporter! Donna is an American singer and songwriter, best known for co-writing the Kim Carnes 1981 hit "Bette Davis Eyes" with Jackie deShannon. The song won the Grammy for Song of the Year and Record of the Year
Donna guested on Joe Cocker's album Mad Dogs and Englishmen, and has also written songs for Taylor Swift, Reba McEntire, Cher, Dusty Springfield as well as numerous other artists.
Donna wrote this soul-stirring tribute to a horse she once knew:
There’s a horse in the field by the meadow
And he ran til his front legs were broken
Leaving life in the dust as a token
They shot the earth from his eyes
He stumbled on air he was riding
And screamed though his heartstrings were broken
He took one last look then it happened
He fell like a mountain to heaven
Who we are
The Canadian Horse Defence Coalition is a collective of people, and national groups, who have joined forces in order to ban the slaughter of horses for human consumption in Canada. As well, the CHDC is lobbying to ban the inhumane transport and export of live horses to other countries for the same purpose.
Nous sommes un collectif de personnes et de groupes nationaux qui ont unis leurs forces afin d’obtenir l’interdiction au Canada de l’abattage des équidés destinés à la consommation humaine, ainsi que de l’exportation de chevaux vivants vers d’autres pays à des fins d’abattage.
Our Patron
"I’ll be in touch tomorrow to donate to this important cause. How cruel and unnecessary Horse slaughter is. Modern society was built on the back of the working horse - and this is how we repay them. Classy."
"This is an amazing, important organization... donate if you can. Even a toonie makes a difference."
