I came across this terrible video and decided to set up a campaign
against this gruesome footage. The video illustrates how horses are inhumanely
destroyed in Mexican abattoirs.
A group of men is standing right near the horse, as the gentle animal
believes he is in for some kind of treat. He could not be more wrong. Moments
after, one of the man grabs a bladed object and hits the animal right over his
had. In a split second, the horse collapses to the ground. Most likely, he is
no longer alive.
The attacker calmly puts the axe down and walks away like nothing
happened. During all this time, a worker filmed the entire incident for his own
personal amusement.
The shocking video was published on a Facebook page called
‘Maximadivision’ (which means ‘share widely’ in Spanish). Thousands of people
watched the footage and express their outrage about what happened. The abattoir
where the incident took place is believed to be in Baja California, Mexico.
Horse traders are still very much active, despite the fact that horse
meat has been officially outlawed by the Mexican government.
The authorities must to take swift action to ensure the heartless
people in the video are brought to justice. They are doing this on a daily
basis and hundreds of horses may be their next innocent victims if not
stopped in their tracks.
I am asking all readers to spare a moment to sign the petition below and ensure these
illegal horse meat traders are apprehended in due time. Thank you for your compassion and support.
