Horse exporter fined

Bouvry Exports Calgary Ltd. has been fined $17,000 for failing to file verified documents supporting its export of horses to Japan.

Animal activists, such as Animal Justice, have been pressuring the Canadian Food Inspection Agency over horse exports to Japan, including frequent requests filed with Access to Information to learn about the exports.


Liberal Member of Parliament Tim Louis has introduced a bill in the House of Commons to ban horse exports. He represents a mixed urban-rural riding on the west side of Kitchener.
