NOTICE: Please take the time to look up the CBC article published on Aug. 2/25 that advises the public that the "N.S. SPCA cancels some municipal bylaw contracts amid staff burnout, rising costs".. "The eight affected units are the towns of Stewiacke, Wolfville and Yarmouth, and municipalities of Pictou County, District of Argyle, District of Clare, District of Yarmouth and East Hants." If you live in ANY of the affected areas - we suggest you contact your Municipality/ Towns to ask how they will be enforcing existing Animal Control Bylaws. "The Nova Scotia SPCA has cancelled eight bylaw enforcement or kennel service contracts with municipalities across the province."

Thank you Kat Weber for being willing to stick your neck out knowing full well that Stephanie Redlick's default tactic is to aggressively smear and discredit anyone who dares to expose the truth -- which only makes us more determined to raise awareness and demand accountability from Ontario’s Animal Welfare Services.

Just some of Stephanie Redlick's over 30 known aliases are listed here:

F**k F**K F**K.
This needs to stop. Those poor animals.

Horse Suffers Broken Leg;
Flight Barely Squeaks Under 28 Hours Allowed

June 23, 2025 When the attendant accompanying the horses on this flight discovered the horse down, a livestock stick was used in an attempt to get him up but they stopped when one of the other horses in the crate became agitated.

The completed Planned Transport Itinerary provided by the exporter did not indicate any deaths or injuries had occurred. However the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) received a report from Japanese Authorities that one horse “is in isolation due to a fractured left hind leg which was observed upon unloading from crates at arrival.”

Details can be found in our report here https://bit.ly/45hxX5K

Take action by sending the letter provided by Animal Justice urging the Canadian government to ban live horse exports for slaughter once and for all → https://bit.ly/4oxglfc

Have you ever heard of water toxicity or poisoning?

It is a result of an excessive intake of water, such as; swimming, diving or water-retrieving. It can also occur from biting/drinking water from the garden hose or sprinkler.

When the body is overwhelmed with an excessive amount of water, it causes an imbalance with the electrolyte (Sodium) levels.

The excess water dilutes the Sodium levels in the bloodstream, which causes cells ( including brain cells) to swell.

This can result in brain swelling, neurological damage or even death.

Some symptoms of water intoxication are:
- Lethargy
- Bloating
- Vomiting
- Loss of coordination (stumbling, falling or staggering)
- Restlessness
- Drooling
- Pale gums
- Dilated pupils
- Glazed eyes

As the pressure increases in the brain, it may also cause difficulty breathing and seizures.

If you suspect your pet may have a water intoxication, get to a vet or emergency clinic immediately!

To help prevent your pets from water intoxication here are some tips:
- Supervise water play; ensure they have plenty of breaks from the water
- Appropriate water toys; avoid toys that absorb water, swallowed or too large
- Limit water consumption; do not allow pets to excessively drink from the garden hose or sprinklers

Youe pets should always have access to fresh, clean water especially during heatwaves and hot summer days. Allow them to have water breaks and have access to cool, shaded areas during the day.
