I think I would have to look at the specific proposal. What I would say is that even based on geography, we're talking about feedlots located—I'm from Manitoba, so I'll focus on Manitoba—at least five hours from the airport. To get horses, dozens if not more than 100 horses at a time, from a feedlot to the Winnipeg airport in all seasons—summer, winter—load them on planes and land them before they cross the ocean to refuel is an incredibly long journey.
What I'm trying to say is that there's only so much we can do to minimize suffering if we accept that it is a journey these horses are going to take, and they are going to take it not one or two at a time but up to about 110 at a time. I can't foresee a way to create regulations that would allow for that to happen without causing suffering. Furthermore, we have to ensure that there are contingency plans in place so that if unforeseen circumstances arise over that entire long and complicated journey, they will absolutely be protected.
