SOMEONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING - RIGHT? When a photograph of a very thin mare appeared in an advertisement for an Ontario auction recently, the reaction was immediate. People were heartbroken. People were angry. Many commented that "someone should do something."...
THE ONE WHERE SHE STATES SHE QUALIFIES FOR LEGAL AID
REDLICK IN CRIMINAL COURT AGAIN…
Stephanie Redlick continues to juggle an impressive number of legal problems.
Today’s court appearance stems from the criminal charges reported by CTV News in July – 1 minute video here.
By our calculations today was her 9th appearance in criminal court in relationship to those charges. (Transcript of today’s proceedings below.)
Separately, she is facing 13 charges under the Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act, arising from the seizure of 16 horses in horrific condition. More details here.
Adding to that growing list, new criminal charges were reported by CTV News earlier this month. Details here.
TRANSCRIPT – TODAY’S CRIMINAL COURT PROCEEDINGS
‘COURT CLERK: Oh, yes, uh, Stephanie Redlick your Honour, 326 to 329.
JUDGE: Miss Redlick turn on your video and state your name and date of birth please.
[Long pause.]
JUDGE: Stephanie Redlick, turn on your video feed and come before the court. Ms. Redlick you have to turn on your camera.
[Another long pause.]
Stephanie Redlick turn on your camera and come before the court.
[About 1 minute from when she was first called upon…]
STEPHANIE REDLICK: Hi, can you hear me?
JUDGE: Yes, your name and date of birth please.
STEPHANIE REDLICK: Stephanie Redlick, November 24th, 1996.
JUDGE: Thank you.
COURT CLERK: Your honour I understand that she is still not in receipt of a legal aid certificate or has counsel retained.
I understand from the last date – the request was to be made to schedule for self [representation…] pre-trial. Duty counsel has provided her with the Zoom Details and the guide for that purpose today.
JUDGE: Miss Redlick why have you not applied for legal aid if that is your intention.
STEPHANIE REDLICK: I’ve applied to legal aid several times.
I was having difficulty, they said they were getting improper documentation, but I keep calling them and they said the documentation was fine but it keeps getting denied.
Financially, I am capable of getting it.
This is the same woman who routinely boasts about her ‘hot-shot legal team’ and her ‘tech team’ — yet today told the court she’s ‘financially capable’ of getting Legal Aid.
JUDGE: Sounds like Miss Redlick, you need to attend in person at the courthouse to speak with the duty council.
What Thursday can you attend in person?
STEPHANIE REDLICK: So, I live five hours away — I can’t attend in person.
Redlick told the court she was five hours away. Google Maps says ninety minutes.
JUDGE: Well at some point you’ll have to attend in person.
And since the matter has been going on since September of 2024 or May of 2025 — some thing needs to change.
STEPHANIE REDLICK: Well, I can’t do anything about it. I’m not Legal aid.
So I was gonna set up that trial.
I have the meeting, umm what date are we looking at?
JUDGE: I’m not setting up that trial, I’m going to adjourn your matter – ma’am until January 8, 2026, and I expect…
Redlick interrupted the judge.
STEPHANIE REDLICK: Sorry, I’m in another courtroom at that time – what other date?
JUDGE: That’s the date.
January 8, 2026.
STEPHANIE REDLICK: So, I’m in another courtroom, I’m telling you.
I have a trial.
JUDGE: So you can come at a break and speak to this matter.
January the 8th, 2026. I’m finished now Ms. Redlick.
STEPHANIE REDLICK: I’m 5 hours away – so who’s paying the transportation?
JUDGE: I’ve just put you on mute because you are interrupting the court.
[JUDGE speaking: Slowly and clearly…]
Miss Redlick, your matter is adjourned to January the 8th, 2026 by video for an update that you have complied with legal aid’s requirements…
Miss Somerville is making a note. Thank you, you are free to disconnect today.

AFTER REDLICK DISCONNECTED:
JUDGE: Given the nature of the charges I’m have difficulty accepting what she’s telling me – that’s why my choice of January 8th.
SPEAK UP - IT TAKES LESS THAN A MINUTE
This 2-click "done for you" email sends a clear message to elected officials that Ontarians will not accept a system that allows repeat harm.
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.

TO BUY OR NOT BUY HORSES FROM KILL BUYERS
WHY IS THERE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING BUYING HORSES DESTINED FOR SLAUGHTER?Okay, so we are fully aware that purchasing horses from kill buyers or directly from First Nations bands is controversial. Some rescues, organizations and individuals are NOT in favour of doing...
HORSES SLAUGHTERED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION
Every year thousands of horses are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption, but you can help us ban horse slaughter in Canada and beyond.
Some of the meat is consumed in Canada, and much of it is shipped to the European Union, and other markets, including Japan.
This barbaric practice is currently not legal in the United States, so horses 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 to Japan for slaughter, is far from humane.
