Save small abattoirs in Ontario Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/save-small-abattoirs-in-ontario.html Online petition signatures en-us Mon, 13 Apr 2026 06:08 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mrs Meg Watkins [Signature #58] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/10871543?utm_medium=rss As a consumer, I have found it very difficult to find humanely killed meat. I believe the shortage of small abbatoirs is the reason for this. Our focus as a community should be to remain as self-sufficient as we can, and raising and processing our food locally, and eating local to support these small businesses is the answer. Please take action to save small and family-run abbatoirs across Ontario.

I love my local farm, a source of pure food.

Their grass-fed meat is superior nutritionally and more ethically raised. But small farmers rely on small abattoirs, and small abattoirs are disappearing! Please help save the small abattoirs across Ontario! Our local economy depends on it!

We deserve to know where and how our food is produced. By moving processing to larger facilities, smaller farmers will be at risk and it will become more difficult for consumers to find out information about their food and know the people who produce it. Animals do not need to suffer longer trips to abattoirs!

AFter caring for an animal and endeavouring to give it the best possible life, it is very discouraging to have to ship animals hours away to be slaughtered.

These benefits are worth the extra effort and tax money required to monitor and maintain several small abattoirs. People are very willing to pay more for local, conscientiously raised food.

They take such care with their animals, meat production, safety. Small and sustainable - we need more, not less small abattoirs and farms.

The animals are treated better, have less chemicals, and most importantly, the Canadian public demands it.

It makes a mockery of anyone trying to raise a farm animal in a compassionate way. Just because they end up on a dinner plate does not mean they don't deserve a merciful life AND death.

For years these small local abattoirs have produced healthy local food. They are inspected so that the health of consumers is protected. That is all that is needed.
