With the federal election just days away, animal welfare issues took center stage Tuesday night, as the Winnipeg Humane Society hosted local candidates to discuss their positions on policies impacting pets and anything on four legs.

Over the 90-minute debate, Ian Macintyre of the Liberals, NDP candidate Emily Clark, and the Green Party’s Dennis Bayomi outlined their views, touching on the export of live horses for slaughter.

“Absolutely, we, the Liberal Party, support the banning of live horse transfers for slaughter,” said Ian MacIntyre, the federal Liberal candidate for Elmwood–Transcona.
