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.
