photo of Bouvry slaughterhouse by Animals Angels
Brandi Turner, Head of Investigations in Colorado for Animals Angels sends the following:
Migros, Switzerland’s largest retail company & supermarket chain has decided to terminate its contract with Bouvry Exports and will no longer buy meat from the Canadian supplier. The decision was made after Migros was confronted again with horrific images from the Bouvry feedlots provided by Animals’ Angels (AA) and its Swiss partner organization Tierschutzbund Zuerich (TSB). The footage obtained by AA and TSB in October of 2013 showed mares left to die and decompose inside the pen area as well as horses with apparent, contagious diseases and severely overgrown hooves.
The graphic pictures were the “straw that broke the camel’s back” – Migros had been monitoring Bouvry Exports very closely ever since AA’s 2012 exposure of substandard conditions & horses in severe distress at the company’s Canadian feedlots. This decision is a MAJOR loss for Bouvry Exports, since Migros was one of their biggest customers and it is expected to result in a significant decrease of US horses shipped to slaughter.

Straight from the Horse's Heart 
Thank you Brandi!!!!! I met you in Las Vegas at the Equine Convention and you have made such a difference to horses!!!
These are the steps needed to slow-stop this atrocity.
WE all need to put pressure on the purchasers and importers of horse meat to show it for what it is – misery.

I Commend Brandi and those involved who follow up on the horrific action of these individuals. As a past hooves humane investigator unless you have been there the average horse owners do not have a clue or choose to take a blind eye. Until the laws protecting our equines is passed the abuse will continue. The best thing that ever happened in Illinois was the closing of Cavel, Intl. The pressure. is mounting and with persistance these companies will eventually close. Many horse people are realizing in this economy if a horse is taken to an auction chances are it will end up in the slaughter pipeline. Its heart breaking to do this work and you are not able to save them all. God bless them all because I experienced first hand how hard it is to see this and try to remain your composer. How many will be lost before this ends??
