Arden says horses are crammed into wooden crates and sometimes left on the tarmac for hours before the flight takes off where they are clearly stressed and make hideous sounds. More than 36,000 people have signed the petition which was presented in the House of Commons last week by NDP MP Alistair MacGregor.

A spokesperson for the federal agriculture department says regulations are in place to ensure horses are fit to travel, and that the government is working to find the best way to ban the export of live horses.

kill em here

Again? Frozen exports?

Who cares what Jann Arden thinks

Disregard.

we eat cows, they eat horses...why does she feel our way of life is better..racist a bit Jann

Ban Jann.

Why would anyone care what she has to think

Can’t we just slaughter them here first?

Who?

Should be banning criminals in politics

is she going to pay to look after the horses?

🖕🖕🖕

Shocking that I support something from this woman

jannarden is nasty.

I think they should be slaughter in Canada and the meat sent to Ukraine, what say you jannarden ?

How do you get 500 cows in a barn? Put up a Jann Arden tonight sign!

Something I agree with her on. I can't believe I said that.

This is the kind of cause that a person who is living in a very very high ivory tower in a very very sheltered bubble would take the time support. I have nothing against horses but there are about 14,000 other more pressing issues.

Who care what Jan Arden thinks

We slaughter millions of animals in this country. I don’t even want to know how many chickens it must take to feed Canada for a day. What’s the difference?

I'd rather listen to her babbling than her singing.

Well, what's she planning on doing with them?

Agreed. It would be much better if we had our own horse-focused abattoirs.

Jann has never been petite but it looks like she’s really amped up the trips through the buffet line.

Horse meat is popular in many countries.

Chris Selley: Emergencies Act report provides little protection against Ottawa using it againA federal government of any stripe is now much more likely to invoke the Emergencies Act in the future against unpopular people and causes. Actually, it made it easier and mean less. Don't cry fowl when the next government does the same! Obviously this was a unique crisis created by incompetence of lower levels of Gov. We don't need any 'protections against' our own Laws and Acts. Parliament approved the EA so it was all done in accordance to Canadian Law. It was a ruthless anarchy With Law Act interfered When truckers wild insanity Spilled rage on peaceful streets
