Very early this morning, another horse shipment left Winnipeg International Airport for Kitakyushu, Japan. There they will eventually be slaughtered for basashi, raw horse meat sushi. The Korean Air 9214 flight left at approximately 5:43am CST, almost an hour later than scheduled.

The trucks all arrived together around midnight, and I drove into the back lot and counted four trucks. It was incredibly windy and rainy last night. I could hear the horses stomping their feet in the trucks and in the crates.

The airport puts up a tarp to obscure the horses being unloaded, then drive the crates right in front of me.

Its so hard to drive away and leave them there, knowing what lies ahead. They receive no food, water, or rest for this journey, which can legally reach 28 hours. Often, we know these exports exceed that already lengthy timeframe.

Canadians are so tired of this. These horses suffer, and we want this stopped.

2026 can still be the year to finally pass legislation that protects horses and ends these horrific shipments.

When I got home this morning, I sent this footage to animal protection organizations across Canada, MP 's, the Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture, along with media outlets, as usual.

Please please reach out to your Members of Parliament, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Agriculture TODAY to voice your concerns about live horse shipments. They have the authority to make legislative decisions, and they need public pressure to do so.

Dairy Is Scary!!!

The team at Manitoba Animal Save and Project Artemis Advocates Winnipeg did outreach and a plant-based milk giveaway in Osborne village this afternoon.
We handed out cards with facts about the Canadian Dairy industry along with plant milk. It was such an inspiring day, so many amazing connections and conversations with people 💕

One young lady was already wanting to ditch dairy, so was very happy to have more information and to receive some plant milk to try!

One young man was at the bus stop when Joyce engaged in conversation with him; and he came over to our table asking for more info to share with his co-workers and he happily accepted some plant milk to take home.

Frank, our friendly police officer, stopped by to chat and took some info with him. When he mentioned he was lactose-intolerant, we insisted he come back after his rounds to take home some plant milk, which he did come back for!!

Another man sat down to try his protein Silk, and came back to us to let us know how much he ws enjoying it. We just had to catch his reaction on video! Maybe the next Silk commercial?

Thank you to everyone who bought a shirt at the last vegan market - this is where your money went, to print dairy info cards and buy plant milk to giveaway.

What a fantastic day!!
Huge thanks to our activists - you all are the best and we sure hope you know it.

Happy Halloween everyone 👻✨️🧡

Project Artemis Advocates Winnipeg and Manitoba Animal Save polled all the candidates campaigning for Mayor and City Council in Winnipeg.

The names in bold white are those that signed the pledge, and the names with stars are those that replied to our short questionnaire with support for funding and proactive approaches for addressing the cat overpopulation in Winnipeg.

Edit: received a press release from Don Woodstock on his cat overpopulation strategy

Check the candidates below who support a One Health approach and don't forget to vote on October 28th!!

Winnipeg One Health Pledge

A commitment to animals, people and the environment

A One Health approach recognizes that human health, animal health and environmental health are interconnected.

As a candidate for Mayor or Winnipeg City Council, I recognize that Winnipeg has an important role to play in creating a safer, healthier and more compassionate city for people and animals.

I pledge to:

1. Support humane solutions for stray and community cats

I will support proactive, evidence-informed strategies to reduce cat homelessness and suffering, including accessible spay/neuter and veterinary programs, responsible pet ownership, identification and reunification, adoption and humane community-cat management.

I will support collaboration between the city, veterinary professionals, rescues, shelters and community organizations to address the root causes of cat overpopulation rather than relying primarily on impoundment after problems occur.

2. Pursue humane, evidence-based approaches to urban wildlife

I will advocate for wildlife management that prioritizes prevention, coexistence and humane alternatives wherever practical.

This includes supporting non-lethal approaches to conflicts involving wildlife and seeking solutions that protect people, animals and ecosystems while minimizing unnecessary suffering.

3. Commit to humane and environmentally responsible pest management

When municipal action is required to manage rodents or other animals, I will support the use of the least harmful effective methods, with careful consideration of non-target animals, biodiversity, children, companion animals and environmental impacts.

I will support transparent evaluation of alternatives before lethal or toxic control methods are adopted, including for ground squirrels and other urban wildlife.

4. Bring a One Health lens to municipal decision-making

I will work to ensure that the health and well-being of people, animals and the environment are considered together when developing municipal policies, programs, budgets and bylaws.

Where decisions affect animals, I will seek input from appropriate veterinary, animal-welfare, environmental, Indigenous, public-health and community experts and support evidence-based, transparent decision-making.

I recognize that a healthy city is one in which people, animals and the environment can thrive together.

I understand that signing this pledge represents a commitment to proactive consideration of animal protection in municipal decision-making, not merely a response to individual animal-related complaints.

With the upcoming civic election, and created a One Health pledge for mayoral and city council candidates, asking if they will commit to animals, people and the environment in their roles.

We've received several signatures already and want to thank mayoral candidate Mike Vogiatzakis for being the first to sign the pledge.

Responses are open until 4pm on October 19th, after which we will share our findings.
