DANAE OF MANITOBA ANIMAL SAVE STRIKES AGAIN!
Okay, you’ll recognize Danae Tonge from at least one video we’ve featured many times…
A CBC National News broadcast covering the inhumane live export of horses from Canada by air for the purpose of slaughter in Japan (and other countries) for human consumption.
WHAT YOU MAY NOT REALIZE IS…
Just how involved Danae is in not only raising awareness but documenting middle of the night flights out of the Winnipeg Airport, no matter the weather or how much of a hard time airport security gives her.
The gut-wrenching task takes her away from her young family at a time of day when the rest of Canada is tucked warmly and safely in their beds. .
Much of the footage you see used by national organizations and on national news programs is shot by Danae.
Danae is also a driving force behind Manitoba Animal Save.
THE WINNIPEG FREE PRESS…
A powerful opinion piece written by Danae Tongue was featured by the Winnipeg Free Press on December 17, 2024, the day after Danae spent yet another freezing cold night at the Winnipeg Airport documenting a shipment of horses to Japan for slaughter.
BILL C-355 IS 'DEAD' SO HERE WE GO AGAIN...
UPDATED APRIL 2025
Even though not a single member of the Conservative Party was willing to vote in favour of Bill C-355 -- and every step of the way Conservatives fought to block Bill C-355 - designed to ban the export of horses for slaughter...
The Liberal Party persisted and Bill C-355 passed through Parliament - it was taken out of the hands of the Prime Minister Trudeau and Members of Parliament and it was put into the hands of Canadian Senators BUT...
UPDATE: Once a Federal election was called for April of 2025 the bill automatically came to an end in Senate.
So we start again... please keep reading.

The Bouvry slaughter plant in Alberta is currently closed, though whether that closure is temporary or permanent remains unclear. The plant in Quebec continues to operate.
You might be surprised that in many parts of Canada, independent butchers report receiving requests to slaughter horses alongside other livestock. To some, money is money — and an animal is simply meat so slaughter continues to thrive across Canada.
Ban Horse Slaughter continues to intervene directly — purchasing horses from kill buyers and from pens operated by First Nations Bands before they are shipped for slaughter. With the help of a foster network, we place horses into safe, permanent homes.
MARCH 2026: We are currently raising funds to purchase and support a small group of draft horses from a situation where a kill buyer has offered top dollar.
The costs extend well beyond purchase — transport, feed, veterinary care, and ongoing support.
Ban Horse Slaughter is 100% volunteer-run.
0% goes to salaries.
