Rebel News Podcast - Horses need rescuing… from this horrifying Toronto rescuer

00:00:00.000 Tonight, I have a disturbing tale about horses that need to be rescued from a so-called horse

00:00:24.040 rescuer. It's Friday, January 23rd, 2026. I'm David Menzies, and this is the Ezra Levent Show.

00:00:33.160 You're ready for freedom! Shame on you, you censorious bug! 0.95

00:00:39.600 Animal cruelty is equal parts disturbing, gross, and downright maddening. Yet, tragically, 0.98

00:00:56.920 animal cruelty remains a blight on society. This is not news, of course, but the story I'm about to

00:01:04.940 present is a bizarre saga of a woman who promotes herself as a rescuer of horses. She wants to be

00:01:13.840 seen as someone who cares deeply about abused horses. She wants you to know she devotes her life

00:01:21.340 to saving these majestic animals. However, the facts of the matter paint a completely different story.

00:01:29.480 Horses in her care tend to exist in miserable conditions. They get sick, they starve, they suffer

00:01:37.820 from dehydration, they die. The irony is perverse, given that the horses in her care need to be rescued

00:01:46.860 from the so-called rescuer. Meet Toronto resident Stephanie Redlich. She is now a notorious figure 0.98

00:01:55.320 in Ontario's equine community. If a horse owner sees Redlich anywhere near their farm, the advice is to

00:02:03.020 call the cops. Not surprisingly, Redlich is known to police, as the saying goes. That's never a good

00:02:10.920 sign. Redlich runs a operation called Above the Stars Equine Rescue. She once claimed that Above the

00:02:20.160 Stars was a charity recognized by the Canada Revenue Agency. She even provided a registration number.

00:02:28.480 Just one hitch, the CRA has no record of such a charity. As for that 15-digit long registration number,

00:02:37.960 it is completely bogus. That was the first red flag to emerge when I began looking into the disturbing

00:02:45.000 case of Stephanie Redlich. And the more I dug, I ended up coming across more red flags than one would

00:02:52.760 find at a matador convention. First and foremost, she claims to have rescued some 1,500 horses.

00:03:02.280 1,500! That's an astonishing number. Just think of the money that would be needed to care

00:03:09.480 for 1,500 horses in terms of feed, vet costs, horseshoes, etc. But Redlich apparently has very

00:03:19.480 little money. She doesn't own a farm, but lives in a modest apartment in North Toronto. She typically 0.99

00:03:26.520 rents plots of land in rural Ontario, until that is the landlord evicts her. Now, why would that be?

00:03:34.280 Well, Redlich allegedly has this very bad habit of not paying the rent when it's due. As for the animals

00:03:42.440 in her care? Oh, those poor horses. In the last few weeks, I have spoken to many people in the equine

00:03:50.200 community. This includes Marie Bennett, who runs a website called banhorseslaughter.com. Bennett has

00:03:58.760 extensively chronicled the escapades of Stephanie Redlich. It's almost turned into a full-time job

00:04:06.040 for Bennett. Should you visit banhorseslaughter.com, you will happen upon a treasure trove of evidence

00:04:14.200 pertaining to Redlich's behavior. None of it is good. The evidence includes numerous disturbing photographs

00:04:22.120 portraying horses that were under the stewardship of Redlich. Typically, the conditions the horses

00:04:28.520 are kept in are beyond appalling. This includes freezing cold barns filled with ankle-deep manure.

00:04:36.600 Often, there's no feed for the horses to eat. Buckets contain ice rather than water.

00:04:44.840 It's also been documented that Redlich's horses left outside were forced to eat poor quality, moldy hay.

00:04:54.040 Horses were also observed picking through their own waste in a desperate attempt to find something to

00:05:01.000 eat. Horses in Redlich's care are often severely dehydrated and dangerously thin. Many horses sport

00:05:10.440 numerous sores and untreated wounds. It's sick. I also reached out to Donna Power, who heads up an

00:05:17.880 organization called Humane Initiative. Power also has nothing positive to say about Stephanie Redlich,

00:05:25.960 and she confirms that the information Bennett has amassed on her banhorseslaughter website is accurate.

00:05:33.320 As for her part, Redlich will tell you that she receives horses in a dilapidated condition in the

00:05:39.800 first place, so their poor health isn't her fault, you see. But even if that's really the case, why

00:05:47.240 doesn't she enlist vets to attend to these poor animals? And when she does hire a vet, why does she 1.00

00:05:55.640 allegedly seldom pay her vet bills? Furthermore, even when Redlich receives a horse that is completely

00:06:04.360 healthy, this is no guarantee the horse is going to live happily ever after. Case in point, the tragic

00:06:12.760 case of former racehorse Seattle Sunrise. Sources tell me that Redlich acquired ownership of Seattle

00:06:19.800 Sunrise in November of 2024. The horse was said to be in pristine condition. Three months later,

00:06:29.240 Seattle Sunrise was skin and bones. When Crystal Mitchell acquired Seattle Sunrise and three other

00:06:36.360 horses from Redlich, Crystal paid thousands in vet fees to save his life. It was all for naught, as this

00:06:45.400 once mighty thoroughbred perished, apparently due to wanton neglect. And check out this photograph of a

00:06:53.480 newborn foal left in the care of Stephanie Redlich. This foal was left in a cold and drafty ramshackle

00:07:02.760 barn. Unable to stand, the foal could not nurse. Windchill temperatures were as low as minus 26 degrees

00:07:11.720 Celsius. She did not survive. Sadly, the number of horses that have suffered under Redlich is simply

00:07:20.360 too numerous to list here. But thankfully, it would appear that the jig is up for Redlich. 0.98

00:07:27.080 Last February, Animal Welfare Services seized 16 horses from Redlich. One horse named Midnight

00:07:35.240 was in such dire condition, he had to be put down almost immediately. Redlich was charged with 13

00:07:42.680 counts of animal neglect by Animal Welfare Services. This included seven counts of failing to meet

00:07:49.960 standard of care, three counts of causing distress, and three counts of permitting distress.

00:07:57.240 Animal Welfare Services notes the horses seized from Redlich were suffering from infected wounds,

00:08:04.440 lameness, parasites, malnourishment, poor hygiene, and untreated medical conditions. As well, Animal Welfare

00:08:13.480 Services has invoiced Redlich for $116,000. This is to pay for the necessary care of the surviving horses

00:08:22.600 seized by the agency. Now, I'm going to go out on a limb here, folks, and make a prediction right now

00:08:28.840 that Animal Welfare Services will not receive a nickel from Redlich. But Redlich is not only neglectful

00:08:37.880 when it comes to caring for horses, but she's also an alleged fraudster, too. Redlich is currently 0.72

00:08:46.680 before the criminal court facing several theft and fraud charges. Last May, she was criminally charged

00:08:54.520 by police. She is accused of fraud totaling more than $26,000, theft over $5,000, making forged documents,

00:09:04.600 and making false pretenses with intent to defraud using cattle worth more than $5,000. And then,

00:09:14.200 last December, additional criminal charges were laid against Redlich, including uttering a forged

00:09:20.840 document, fraud over $5,000, and being in the possession of the proceeds of crime and forgery.

00:09:29.080 She is also accused of passing off an altered check to defraud an auction house of more than $15,000.

00:09:39.960 Now, police began their fraud investigation regarding Redlich last year after they received a complaint

00:09:46.360 about, quote, transportation and financial irregularities of livestock being transported from a

00:09:54.600 farm in Tay Township and sold at a Cookston stockyard sale in September of 2024, end quote.

00:10:05.080 Here's the skinny, according to sources. 80-something John Dobson owned a farm nearby a property Redlich was

00:10:13.320 renting. Dobson owned a small herd of cattle, but he had to travel to Toronto for a medical procedure.

00:10:20.760 Well, wouldn't you know it? Redlich, being such a kind and compassionate young lady,

00:10:27.000 well, she promised Dobson she'd look after his cows. Oh, she looked after them, all right.

00:10:34.360 Redlich allegedly had the cattle hauled off to an auction house, pretending that the cows belonged to

00:10:41.400 her. She reportedly pocketed something like $60,000 from the sale, which led to the fraud and theft charges.

00:10:50.600 Unbelievable. I should point out that Redlich is very thin-skinned when she receives criticism. 0.98

00:10:58.280 Should anyone call her out, her knee-jerk strategy is to engage in harassment, smear campaigns, 1.00

00:11:05.560 and online deception, much of which would appear to meet the benchmark of defamation.

00:11:11.800 Marie Bennett of benhorselotter.com also notes that Redlich engages in other shenanigans. For example,

00:11:20.600 she says Redlich advertises cheap hay for sale. Yet the images are allegedly stolen from U.S. farmers

00:11:28.920 and equipment owners who have publicly confirmed they do not know her. Redlich also has a documented

00:11:36.440 pattern of misrepresenting horses she puts up for sale. She routinely advertises injured or unsound

00:11:44.920 horses as being healthy. You know that old saying, don't buy a pig in a poke? Well, when it comes to

00:11:51.240 Redlich, don't buy a horse from her if it's cloaked in a blanket, you might not like the sight that awaits 1.00

00:11:59.000 your eyes once that blanket is removed. Bennett also says Redlich has even gone so far as to allegedly

00:12:07.880 sell horses that she does not own using photos plucked from the internet. In some cases, Redlich claims

00:12:17.160 delivery is included, but that's impossible, of course, given that she has no access to the horses

00:12:23.720 that she's pretending to sell. Most recently, Redlich has been laughably presenting herself as a so-called

00:12:32.280 equine therapist. She claims, quote, I'm like a doctor. I'm a therapist, but I'm not registered.

00:12:40.680 So you have to pay me directly. Oh, hip doesn't cover my charges, end quote. Well, of course, oh, hip doesn't

00:12:49.320 cover her charges. And get this, when potential clients ask where her horses are or where the therapy

00:12:58.200 appointments take place, Redlich allegedly insists they must first e-transfer a payment for 10 sessions,

00:13:06.840 after which she will meet them at a Tim Hortons. Par for the course, Redlich is a no-show.

00:13:14.200 Of note, Redlich has more than 30 aliases, including Stephanie Alicia and Stephanie Martin.

00:13:22.840 And she has more than a dozen phone numbers. Nothing dodgy here, of course, except that these

00:13:30.280 are the due rigueur telltale tactics of a scammer. She also appears to have delusions of grandeur. 1.00

00:13:39.080 She speaks of having a tech team, yet her Zoom connection during animal welfare services tribunal

00:13:46.600 hearings tends to crash, typically when the questions get a little too prickly for her liking.

00:13:55.080 She also brags of retaining a hot-shot legal team, yet in criminal court last December, 0.99

00:14:02.840 she said that she qualifies for legal aid. And in truth, that might be the most honest statement

00:14:09.720 Redlich has uttered in recent weeks, given her obvious lack of financial wherewithal.

00:14:17.080 Of course, there are two sides to every story. So a few days ago, we arranged to interview Stephanie

00:14:23.960 Redlich. Originally, the interview was going to take place in Norwich, Ontario, which is about two hours

00:14:31.560 southwest of Toronto. The Norwich venue is or was Redlich's current rental property. I thought it

00:14:40.120 would be interesting to check out the horses currently under her stewardship, as well as the 0.80

00:14:45.880 conditions they are living in. But the day before the interview, Redlich phoned to say that she had

00:14:53.160 been deemed persona non grata by the property's landlord. He allegedly threatened to call the police

00:15:00.520 if she showed up at the farm. Gee, why would that be? A bounce check, perhaps? So it was, we visited

00:15:10.120 Redlich in North Toronto and conducted the interview in the foyer of her apartment building. Check out the

00:15:17.720 following excerpts. And I ask you folks, are you buying what Stephanie Redlich is selling? David Benzies for

00:15:26.520 Rebel News here in North Toronto. And I'm standing with Stephanie Redlich. She is the principal of Above

00:15:34.120 the Stars Equine Rescue. And basically, why we're here is Stephanie has told me off camera she's had

00:15:43.720 all kinds of pitfalls and hurdles running her operation. So Stephanie, without any further ado, 0.85

00:15:50.280 tell us about Above the Stars Equine Rescue and what are the issues that you are dealing with right

00:15:57.240 now? Sure. So Above the Stars Equine Rescue is strictly a family-run organization with our family.

00:16:05.480 We rescue horses from slaughter pipelines, overseas, anything that's going to Mexico that needs to get

00:16:13.160 off the truck comes to our facilities. So we're struggling a lot with people insinuating that

00:16:19.160 we're abusing horses. We do not abuse horses. We save horses from dying. And how many horses have you

00:16:28.200 saved? I think you said at one time it was about a thousand? Yeah, I think we've saved over 1500,

00:16:34.280 if I'm correct. Are you able to document the number of horses that you've actually saved? 1500 sounds like

00:16:41.320 an incredible amount to me. And it must be, there must be some financial burden to saving so many

00:16:49.080 horses. Yes, absolutely. Some of these horses need to be euthanized immediately, unfortunately,

00:16:54.440 just because they're so far gone. So every payment that I make is from my pocket. I don't take any

00:17:01.160 donations at all. I do this all by myself. I just have my father alongside working with me.

00:17:07.480 Where do you get your money for these horse rescues? I actually buy and sell race horses,

00:17:13.480 and I breed race horses as well. Okay. And can you give me an idea of what your facility is? Because

00:17:19.960 I think you rent facilities? Yes. So we do rent a couple facilities in the Ontario area for our horses

00:17:27.800 to be safely housed. And we take care of all those facilities. Okay. Now, originally, we were going to go

00:17:34.680 to Norwich, Ontario, which is about two hours away from here. I thought to have the barn in the

00:17:40.600 background, see some of the horses. But you phoned me last night, you said, we can't go to Norwich,

00:17:46.120 because the landlord had threatened to call the police. What's that? What's all that about?

00:17:50.920 So there's this lady named Marie Bennett. She's the owner of Gan Horse Slaughter. She's been after me 0.85

00:17:57.800 for the past year now. She's coerced many people into throwing myself and my father out of properties,

00:18:06.280 trying to get animal welfare involved, taking horses away that we've rescued. So that's pretty much what's

00:18:13.160 going on right now again. And, you know, I have reached out to Marie Bennett and others in the

00:18:18.920 horsing community. And we should make mention that you have been charged by animal welfare services.

00:18:27.080 There's also fraud charges against you in court. But let's take the animal welfare cruelty

00:18:33.880 charges. Stephanie, understand 13 charges. This includes seven counts of failing to meet standard

00:18:40.680 of care, three counts of causing distress, three counts of permitting distress. I understand you

00:18:48.120 have to really severely mistreat an animal before animal welfare services gets involved. Can you tell

00:18:54.840 me what that's all about? Yeah, sure. So we rented a property last year in Port Perry, Ontario, where we

00:19:00.760 housed 17 of our horses, which some of those were show horses, some of those were race horses, some of those

00:19:07.160 were broodmares that created top notch babies for us. And we had a couple of the rescues there, where 0.85

00:19:14.040 we were illegally locked out again of the facility, which made animal welfare have intervention with us,

00:19:20.440 except animal welfare wasn't corresponding with us properly due to an illegal lockout. So what ended up

00:19:26.760 happening was seizure of 16 horses because someone by the name of Mr. Corey Warren in Port Perry, Ontario ended

00:19:33.000 up starving them. Oh, he starved them. How did that come to be? So animal welfare services appointed Mr.

00:19:39.240 Corey Warren to be the custodian of my 16 horses on property. He had no horse knowledge at all. He's not a

00:19:46.680 horse guy at all. So when they appointed him, we were very concerned. We reached out to the chief animal

00:19:53.000 welfare inspector and tried to have conversations with her. She just wouldn't answer the phone, wouldn't answer 0.98

00:19:58.120 any emails. And then all of a sudden our horses were gone off the property till this day. I don't know

00:20:03.160 where they are. And one of the horses, I understand midnight had to be put down, right? Yes, that's

00:20:08.760 correct. She was so severely emaciated and starved to death that the facility that they ended up placing

00:20:15.480 her at in my disclosure, in my court disclosure, ended up putting her down when I was the legal owner 0.64

00:20:21.800 of her when they were not turned over to the Crown Attorney's office. So I had full say in what would

00:20:27.320 happen to midnight and they defied me. So it ended up in her passing away. But Stephanie, 0.95

00:20:32.840 with all due respect, these horses were in your care, were they not? I mean, you're running the

00:20:37.240 horse rescue operation. So some of those horses just had come to us, so they were in deplorable

00:20:43.720 condition. We had a horse that was covered in probably manure from head to toe when we rescued her

00:20:50.680 and our vets were telling us to just leave it on because it's so impacted on her that when the weather

00:20:55.960 warms up, it'll fall off of her. And where do you acquire these horses, typically? I go to

00:21:03.560 Ontario Livestock Exchange. I acquire some horses from some of my friends in the states that have

00:21:09.880 big rescues there. So once they're finished, they're quarantined in the states, they come to Ontario.

00:21:15.640 And, you know, people in the horse community, they have flagged horses being in deplorable conditions.

00:21:23.800 There's no other word for it. Horses with open wounds, horses standing in up to three feet of manure,

00:21:31.800 water buckets frozen, no hay for them to eat. They tell me, I'm not a horse expert by any means,

00:21:38.440 but without constant food and water. It's pretty much a death sentence. How did those horses in your

00:21:44.920 care get into that situation? So the horses in my care were never in that situation. That's not the

00:21:50.520 story. That's not what everybody knows. What happened is my landlord put all manure inside of

00:21:55.640 my barn in a property at Oro Medonte, which the Ontario Provincial Police know about in the courts,

00:22:01.160 because we're in the middle of trial right now. So there was no frozen waters. What ended up happening

00:22:07.240 was when waters got frozen, we put buckets on the side of the wall, and we slammed them out. It's

00:22:12.600 winter, it's minus 40. You can't stop that from happening. So those photos I've seen of water frozen

00:22:18.280 buckets, those? No. Those aren't your from your bar? The horses had water accessible 24-7. Okay. Tell me

00:22:26.200 about a horse by the name of Seattle Sunrise. I understand you acquired him in November 2024.

00:22:32.600 He was described as being in pristine condition, former racehorse, and in the space of three months

00:22:41.000 had to be put down. What happened? So I ended up leasing out Seattle Sunrise. I won't talk about that

00:22:47.480 too much right now because the person's under indictment who did have him. He got dropped off

00:22:51.960 to my property in Port Perry at the end of my driveway in emaciated, deplorable condition.

00:22:56.840 Seattle Sunrise did. That is very true. Yes, he did. I was told that he was in pristine condition.

00:23:02.040 He was not in pristine condition. That horse has had a lot of underlying health issues,

00:23:06.680 and that's why he could not be a racehorse, and we purchased him for a thousand dollars.

00:23:10.360 Okay, then. And so what happened? It was just, if it was in such bad condition,

00:23:17.320 surely you would have reached out to a vet, wouldn't you? I didn't have possession of him. He was a

00:23:24.360 leased out horse, which is a free lease. So someone signed a contract with us that he would be taking

00:23:29.560 care of Seattle Sunrise. They did not, and apparently he got dropped off to the end of my

00:23:34.840 driveway and pulled up to the property, and there he was. So how does it work? Because I thought you're

00:23:40.440 running the rescue operation. Is it a matter of subcontracting out the horses to other horse

00:23:48.360 caregivers? So what we end up doing is some of the horses, they need a job. Well, most horses,

00:23:54.600 all horses need a job, just like us humans. So we source the horses out, and we vet the people,

00:24:01.480 and we trust that the people are being legit with us. And unfortunately, not everybody in this world is

00:24:08.040 an honest person, and they do bad things. So Seattle got returned to us in that condition. I met a lady

00:24:14.520 named Crystal Mitchells. She said she had a rescue. She doesn't have a charity rescue registered in

00:24:20.520 Ontario, Canada. She was given a contract that if I gave Seattle to her, she would not euthanize him,

00:24:27.640 because he would be at Guelph being treated by Dr. McCarroll. And I did reach out to Crystal,

00:24:34.440 and she told me she did take possession of the horse. She did hire a vet. It cost thousands of dollars.

00:24:40.600 Right from the get-go, the vet told her, I don't know if this horse can be saved. Unfortunately,

00:24:46.360 that proved to be true. But it seemed to me, from my conversation with Crystal, that she was

00:24:54.120 going all out to save Seattle Sunrise. No, Crystal was not going out to save Seattle

00:25:00.600 Sunrise. Unfortunately, Crystal has no money. So her friend Marie Bennett is the one who sources 1.00

00:25:07.320 her all her money to help her even run her farm. She can't afford hay. She can't afford grain. She's 1.00

00:25:13.400 messaged me several times if I could help her, after bashing me online. You know, I'll reach out

00:25:18.840 to her again, but she told me she currently has possession of three very healthy horses. They're

00:25:23.560 rescues. So I had no indication that they were being deprived of food regarding the hay. So there was one

00:25:33.560 horse that I did turn over to Crystal, and the deal was that she was supposed to have a hernia surgery 1.00

00:25:39.160 immediately. Crystal gave us a story where her veterinarian said she wasn't healthy enough to do 0.99

00:25:44.600 it. I'm sorry, Crystal, that horse was in great weight. She could have went through the surgery

00:25:50.120 right away. And if that was so, I would have kept the horse and brought her to Guelph University. I had

00:25:54.440 no problem with that at all. And still, till this day, we're going on 11 months, it's not been done,

00:25:59.320 her hernia surgery. So I don't know how the horse would be in good condition when she has a massive 0.90

00:26:03.880 rupture. Tell me, these people in the horse community, Crystal, Marie, others who I've spoken 1.00

00:26:11.720 to, what would be their agenda to malign you if they too are horse lovers? So I wouldn't call them 0.61

00:26:19.320 horse lovers at all. I've been doing this since I was eight years old. I used to run 250 head of cattle,

00:26:24.120 300 sheep and 500 horses for a horse dealer. I really know what true horsemanship is about.

00:26:31.160 And it's not what they're doing. You don't go online trying to destroy someone's business when

00:26:36.280 they've been nothing but nice to the equine community supporting many horses that need immediate care.

00:26:43.960 And right now with the animal welfare services, 13 charges, you are also, you've also been given a bill,

00:26:52.600 I think, in the nature of 116,000, which they need to feed the horses. Has that been paid?

00:26:58.680 No. So that's not being paid to the Ministry of Finance. Our lawyer is dealing with everything.

00:27:03.560 It wouldn't be feasible for us to pay 116,000 to the Ontario government because they legally seized our

00:27:09.400 horses due to Corey Warren starving them. You mentioned lawyers. I understand, like you've said in

00:27:15.720 the past, you have a legal team, but then I heard that you've been applying for legal aid. Is that correct?

00:27:21.400 No, I haven't applied for legal aid. Oh, okay. So you have a lawyer?

00:27:25.160 Yes. I've personally assigned a lawyer. What would be his or her name?

00:27:28.440 I don't want to say that just in case he gets thrown through the mud like I have.

00:27:32.360 Oh, okay then. Now, in addition to the animal welfare charges, you are facing fraud charges too.

00:27:40.360 Can we talk about John Dobson? As I understand it, he had a head of cattle. He's an elderly man.

00:27:46.840 He had to go to Toronto for surgery. You said you'd take care of the cattle, but allegedly you loaded

00:27:53.080 them up and took them to an auction house and pocketed around $60,000. That's the nature of that

00:28:01.320 fraud. What happened there, Stephanie?

00:28:04.600 So I can say that is totally not true. Unfortunately, we're putting publication bans

00:28:10.760 on everything right now with that case, and I am not guilty. It's going through trial.

00:28:15.640 And has a judge granted a publication ban?

00:28:17.960 A judge is granting a publication ban on the 29th of this month.

00:28:22.520 Oh, okay. So it hasn't happened yet.

00:28:24.760 No, we just had a meeting with the prosecutor and everybody else in the courthouse, and they see

00:28:29.400 the means for the publication ban. Okay. So why would Mr. Dobson be talking about losing his head

00:28:35.480 of cattle and you pocketing the money from basically his property?

00:28:41.000 Right. Mr. Dobson is a very poor old man that had asked for help. I gave him help, and then he

00:28:48.760 made up a story. He wants to go to his insurance company and claim that the cattle were stolen.

00:28:53.480 Unfortunately, that's not the case. And if I can read the charges, fraud totally more than $26,000.

00:29:02.920 I'd rather you not.

00:29:04.200 Oh, okay. Well, I mean, it's a matter of public record though, Stephanie.

00:29:07.240 Okay. Okay.

00:29:08.040 But so fraud totally more than $26,000, theft over $5,000, making forged documents as well as false

00:29:16.520 pretenses with intent to defraud using cattle worth more than $5,000.

00:29:22.120 You know, that's very definitive. How do you answer that? I mean, what happened to his cattle

00:29:28.200 when they were in your care? So I never cared for his cattle. I don't know where anybody ever

00:29:33.400 came up with that information. I would never care for John Dobson's sick, emaciated animals with

00:29:38.440 Yoni's disease. Why would I ever touch anything that's diseased? Okay. This is new for me. I hadn't

00:29:44.120 heard that the cattle were in Oakland. Yeah. Those cattle had Yoni's disease and they were

00:29:49.640 deemed slaughter cattle. So John Dobson did shoot them all and put them in his back 40.

00:29:55.000 Wow. Well, I'll reach out to Mr. Dobson to confirm that. The other issue on fraud, Stephanie,

00:30:02.680 for your charity, Above the Stars Equine Rescue, you said it was a registered charity with the

00:30:12.440 Canadian Revenue Agency, Canada Revenue Agency rather. You gave a charity number, but evidently

00:30:20.520 it doesn't exist. It was a business number that we set up, not a charity number. I don't know who

00:30:26.120 ever said a charity number. We have a business number, but not a charity. I told you I'm not

00:30:30.920 a charity. Oh, you're not a charity. No, I do not take funds from everyone in the middle of the report.

00:30:37.160 I even said that in the beginning. I said that as well. Did you claim to be a charity at one point?

00:30:42.520 I one time wanted to make it a charity organization and decided I don't need to.

00:30:47.240 Okay then. But again, just to be specific, did you claim to have a charity with a

00:30:53.160 charity registration number? No, the answer is no, I did not. Okay then. So we go on and

00:31:00.760 you know, there's a whole list of various things. I have found from my sources, Animal Welfare

00:31:11.240 Services notes the horses suffered from infected wounds, lameness, parasites, malnourishment,

00:31:17.960 poor hygiene, and untreated medical conditions. Again, how did they get into that state? And if they,

00:31:25.240 even if you acquired them in such a state, why not get a vet on the case? Because we were illegally

00:31:31.560 thrown out of our property again, which made the horses have wounds not being tended to because

00:31:37.640 Mr. Cory Warren could not treat them. I don't know why Animal Welfare Services appointed him to be a

00:31:43.000 custodian. And when you say you were illegally thrown out of your property, and sure enough today

00:31:49.160 we were supposed to be in Norwich having this interview. What happens? I mean, there have been

00:31:53.960 allegations that you write checks that bounce. No, I don't write checks that bounce, but hold on

00:32:01.560 one second because I'm going to grab my dad because that would have to do with him. Oh, okay. He's

00:32:06.200 writing the checks? Yes, the checks are from him. I don't write checks to people. I'm happy to talk to

00:32:11.640 your dad as well. Can I bring him on down for you to talk? Absolutely. Okay. Thank you so much.

00:32:17.720 In the final analysis, I'm not quite sure what to make of Stephanie Redlich. Is she a grifter? Is she 0.64

00:32:25.320 mentally ill? Or is it a bit of both? She's certainly full of entitlement. Despite the number 0.99

00:32:33.000 of horses that have suffered horrifically under her care, it's never ever her fault. There's zero

00:32:41.320 accountability. Even when a horse has no hay to eat. Even when a horse has no water to drink.

00:32:48.200 Even when a horse has open sores, it is always, always, always somebody else's fault.

00:32:54.600 As well, Redlich displays a persecution complex. She seems to genuinely believe that the entire

00:33:03.080 world is out to get her for reasons that remain mysterious. But here's something I find to be

00:33:11.000 truly off the charts incredible. Rebel News did not track down Stephanie Redlich. We did not scrum her

00:33:19.960 on an impromptu basis upon a public sidewalk. Rather, it was the Redlich family that reached out to us for

00:33:28.040 an interview. Despite the mountain of evidence against Stephanie Redlich, despite the ongoing

00:33:35.160 animal neglect and fraud charges she faces, Stephanie continues to play the victim card.

00:33:43.240 Her chutzpah is unbelievable. The fact of the matter is the real victims in Redlich's universe are those 0.96

00:33:50.280 people she does business with. And of course, the poor horses that have the misfortune of being placed

00:33:58.200 in her care. And yet, the alleged horse rescuer is the real victim here? Really? But here's some added

00:34:09.400 tragedy. Somehow, someway, Stephanie Redlich can still buy a horse today. No muss, no fuss. Despite the fraud 0.98

00:34:21.560 charges. Despite the animal neglect charges. Despite her brutal reputation and her abysmal track record. 1.00

00:34:30.360 To me, that means the system is clearly broken and it needs to be fixed. Otherwise, by hook or by crook,

00:34:38.840 Redlich will continue to acquire horses. And those horses will continue to suffer and die.

00:34:46.360 In the final analysis, Stephanie Redlich shouldn't be anywhere near a horse. In fact, 0.95

00:34:56.040 I wouldn't entrust Stephanie Redlich to look after a goldfish.
