WINNIPEG\u2014A landmark trial happening in Winnipeg next week is believed to be the first time a private prosecution involving farmed animals has reached trial in Canada.<\/p>\n

The case was brought by Animal Justice against Carolyle Farms, a Manitoba-based live horse exporter, who allegedly violated federal animal welfare laws by transporting horses for slaughter in Japan without food, water, or rest for over the legal 28-hour limit. Specifically, Carolyle Farms is charged with failing to have a contingency plan, as required by the Health of Animals Regulations, when transporting these horses.<\/p>\n

A Manitoba judge allowed the charge to proceed\u00a0last year<\/a>, after federal authorities declined to take enforcement action. The case marks a rare use of the private prosecution<\/a> process, where charges are laid by a private individual rather than the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is likely the first time in Canadian history that a private prosecution involving farmed animals has made it to trial,\u201d said Camille Labchuk, lawyer and executive director at Animal Justice.\u00a0\u201cThe few federal animal protection laws that do exist are meaningless if they aren\u2019t enforced,\u201d said Ms. Labchuk, who laid the charge.<\/p>\n

Trial Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, May 26 & Tuesday, May 27, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

10:00 a.m. CDT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Courtroom 306, Manitoba Provincial Court, Law Courts Building, 408 York Avenue, Winnipeg<\/strong><\/p>\n
