Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called for a mandate banning the export of live horses overseas for slaughter. Every year Canada sends live horses under horrifying conditions to Japan for slaughter, to arrive as a horse meat “delicacy” on Japanese menus. Now we must convince the agency that has that decision to follow through.
Live export involves large draft horses being tightly packed in containers where they have no access to food or water for hours on end. Many are injured and even die before arrival.

WILLIAM ASTORE—Quite honestly, the who, the how, and the why depress me. The “who” is simple enough: the military-industrial-congressional complex, which finds genocidal nuclear weapons to be profitable, even laudable. Leading the charge of the latest death brigade is my old service, the Air Force.

Not content with such new missiles, the Air Force also desires new strategic bombers, B-21 Raiders to be precise (the “21” for our century, the “Raider” in honor of General Jimmy Doolittle’s morale-boosting World War II attack on Tokyo a few months after Pearl Harbor). The potential price tag: somewhere to the north of $200 billion through the year 2050.
