In 2008, the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition (CHDC) released its first report on the horse slaughter industry in Canada.
This report was about the Natural Valley Farms slaughterhouse in Neudorf Saskatchewan. The report disclosed the many issues surrounding how horses were killed there.
Please read the report here.
The CHDC also released two more reports on this slaughterhouse stemming from the investigation. These horses suffered terribly.

A CBC probe raised questions about horse slaughter at Natural Valley.
Further to the investigation was a report to the Carry the Kettle First Nations. They had been offered a deal by European interests to re-open the Natural Valley Farms slaughterhouse to kill horses.
After our report to them, they voted to not accept the offer.
