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 IN THE HANDS OF CANADIAN SENATORS

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  has now passed through Parliament - it is out of the hands of the Prime Minister and Members of Parliament and it is in the hands of Canadian Senators.

Would you, could you, take a few minutes this holiday season to send 11 individual emails to the Senators who serve on the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry?

(OR FILL OUT A 30 SECOND FORM LETTER?)

After watching hours of presentations in the Senate, reading and re-reading transcripts we know those opposing the bill AND those in favour of the bill are assuming it will go to Committee after the break for the holidays. So we need to make noise – NOW.

CANADA SLAUGHTERS HORSES FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

It may be hard for some to believe that tens of thousands of horses, including pets, are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption.

Some of the meat is consumed in Canada and much of it is shipped to the European Union and other markets, including  Japan.

The barbaric slaughter of horses is currently not legal in the United States, BUT  horses, including pets and ex-racehorses, from the United States are shipped to Canada and to Mexico to be slaughtered.

In addition Canada allows for the transportation of live horses to Japan,  to be slaughtered for human consumption, and unfortunately the transportation of horses destined for slaughter within Canada, and by air, is far from humane.

Cruel exports
Horses from Winnipeg sent abroad for slaughter

By: Janine LeGal
Posted: 2:00 AM CDT Saturday, Mar. 18, 2023

Horses have forever been admired, featured prominently in popular children’s books and television programs, noted for being sleek, majestic, poetry in motion. But they also have a high level of emotional intelligence. A University of Sussex study found that horses can read emotional cues from our facial expressions, not only recognizing human emotions, but also deeply absorbing them.

LITTLE RED BARN

Colleen goes on to share some of her personal experiences and how valuable horses in the care of the Little Red Barn have been to those lucky enough to spend time with them.

Further on in the article…

Some of the facts about the slaughter of horses in Canada for human consumption are well expressed – as well as an overview of the export of horses to Japan (and other markets) for slaughter for the same purpose.

It can be jarring then, to know that Canada slaughters roughly 25,000 horses annually and is one of the top exporters of horse meat in the world, with an annual revenue of roughly $80 million.

Canada’s horse exportation industry ships from 3,000-5,000 horses annually. (Canada has exported more than 40,000 draft horses since 2013.)

Draft horses bred specifically for exportation are shipped out from Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg. This, despite the fact that more than two-thirds of Canadians are against exporting live horses for slaughter, according to Manitoba Animal Save, an animal advocacy organization. The Liberal Party committed to banning the practice in its September 2021 election campaign but, as of yet, nothing has changed.

WINNIPEG FREE PRESS

For the last 5 years, Danae Tonge of Manitoba Animal Save has witnessed firsthand the loading of horses at the Winnipeg Airport – horses destined for slaughter in Japan (and sometimes Korea).

“They are terrified, subject to turbulence and air pressure changes and some may fall during turbulence or take off, and be trampled by their crate mates, unable to escape. They cannot move around; they cannot lay down.”

Tonge recalls a recent horse shipment from Winnipeg in which travel time had exceeded more than 30 hours. Three horses were found down in their crate upon arrival in Japan. There have been several documented incidents of injured or dead horses on flights from Canada to Japan.
