Montreal offers to help find new homes for carriage horses as industry ends

The city announced Wednesday it will offer to buy the animals for $1,000 each and give them to the SPCA, which will work with a refuge to find them new homes.

The administration announced last year that it would phase out the caleches by 2020 after accidents involving the horses raised concerns about their welfare. In June 2018, the city said there had been four accidents since 2014, as well as hundreds of citizens complaints. He said the city expects about 30 horses to be sold into the program, while the rest of the owners will sell or keep their horses privately, or set up shop in a city where caleches are still allowed.

Why don't they sell them at IGA as horse meat?

Montreal Carriage Horses Need New Homes As Industry Shuts DownThe city will offer to buy the animals for $1,000 each and give them to the SPCA. I bet there a nice glue factory somewhere that'll take 'em in. Long overdue. I once saw a horse hit the ground and then beaten by the driver. In hindsight, I should have gotten off the bus and thrashed the driver, but I didn’t. Will always regret it. Hope these beautiful animal can be saved.
