Horses need rescuing… from this horrifying Toronto rescuer

<p>Animal cruelty is equal parts disturbing, gross, and downright maddening — and tonight’s story is a bizarre saga in Ontario’s horse world.</p>

<p>Stephanie Redlick is a North York/Toronto-area resident who is reportedly connected to Above the Stars Equine Rescue, and a figure many in the equine community have been warning about for months.</p>

<p>Redlick has been charged with 13 offences under Ontario’s Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act, and police have also laid criminal charges alleging fraud and theft connected to a livestock matter.</p>

<p>There are serious claims being made by critics and horse advocates — allegations that horses under Redlick’s stewardship have been kept in appalling conditions, with suffering and death as the outcome. So, how can someone facing such serious allegations still be in a position to acquire more animals?</p>

<p>In this scenario, Rebel News journalists often reach out to a party to get their side of the story. Sometimes we're ignored, sometimes we havbe to get creative about how to reach them. But here comes the twist: Rebel News didn’t ambush Redlick on a sidewalk — her side reached out to us.</p>

<p>So David spoke with her, put the allegations plainly, and let viewers judge her answers for themselves.</p>

<h2>Because whatever the courts ultimately decide, one thing is clear: if the system can’t prevent more animals from being put at risk, the system is broken.</h2>
