IS BILL C-355 DEAD & WHAT'S NEXT?

UPDATED February 2026:  When Bill C-355 reached the Senate, Senator Pierre Dalphond stepped up as a powerful ally in the fight to end the live export of horses for slaughter. His support gave hope to thousands of Canadians who want to see this cruel practice banned for good.

Once a Federal election was called for April of 2025, Bill C-355  unfortunately died on the order paper. But the fight isn’t over—and with strong voices like Senator Dalphond’s, it doesn’t have to be.

💬 We’re asking Senator Dalphond to reintroduce a similar bill in the Senate now that the election is over.  With continued public pressure and political will, we can finally turn this promise into law.

Please join us in thanking Senator Dalphond for his commitment, and urge him to keep pushing forward on this critical issue. Together, we can end the suffering.

STEPHANIE REDLICK’S NEGLECTED HORSES FINALLY SEIZED

AND CHARGES LAID

Already know all about how negligent Ontario Animal Welfare Services were in the Stephanie Redlick case and want to know what you can do to make a difference? Click here.

On February 4th, 2025, the Ontario Provincial Police alerted Animal Welfare Services (AWS) about the dire conditions of Stephanie Redlick’s horses.

Reports described a heartbreaking scene—water troughs left empty, buckets filled only with ice, horses without shelter, and emaciated animals forced to pick through their own piled-up manure in search of food.

Despite the urgency of the situation, AWS did not visit the property for the first time until February 12th.  

Yes, really — it took 8 days for officers to check on the horses for the first time.

Even more alarming, the horses were not removed until February 20th—16 days after the initial report—raising serious concerns about AWS’s effectiveness and accountability.

But this fight is far from over.

We will not forget what happened here, and we will not allow Animal Welfare Services to escape accountability.

It took far too long for them to respond, despite clear signs of suffering.

Again, the conditions were appalling—no water, no salt, no feed, and no shelter for the majority of the emaciated horses.

These animals should have been seized long before now.

We are NOT going to be ignored.  Please join us in demanding answers and ensure that AWS does its job to protect animals in the future. Details below — we need your voices now more than ever.

It takes less than a minute — and it puts real pressure on decision-makers to close the loophole that allows Redlick to keep accumulating horses - even after 16 were seized, 13 animal welfare charges were laid - and Redlick owes the provincial government over $116,000 for their care.

Monday, February 24, was a day of determination and purpose.

A passionate crowd gathered at Barrie City Hall, braving the cold to stand together for a cause that mattered. Advocates, activists and concerned citizens, bundled up against the weather, came with a shared goal—to push for stronger animal welfare laws.

Side by side, they called for faster response times from Animal Welfare Services (AWS), tougher penalties for repeat offenders and meaningful changes to prevent ongoing neglect and abuse.

On February 4, the OPP alerted AWS about the dire conditions of horses at an Oro-Medonte location. [READ FULL ARTICLE HERE]

ANIMAL WELFARE SERVICES SEIZES (REDLICK’S) HORSES

FEB. 20, 2025:

Following weeks of public complaints and concerns about the welfare of a large number of horses living in poor conditions on a farm in Oro-Medonte, Ontario, and later in Port Perry, they have been seized by the province’s Animal Welfare Services (AWS).

A series of disturbing events became the catalyst for this response when a horse-owning neighbour of Stephanie Redlick’s, Jim Horne, was alerted that a newborn foal was in distress at the farm on Feb. 2. The filly was found unblanketed in an uninsulated barn and despite assurances she would be properly cared for, she later died. Horne noted that other horses in Redlick’s care were in very poor condition and there was a noticeable lack of fresh water and feed.

From that time until Feb. 10, many concerned individuals – including the mayor of Oro-Medonte and the Orillia [Ontario Provincial Police] OPP – contacted AWS to make formal complaints about Redlick and the horses, four of which she eventually agreed to relinquish to a caring family. One of those, a five-year-old Thoroughbred named Seattle Sunrise who had raced at Woodbine, was so starved that even with heroic veterinary care, he had to be euthanized.
