Show Notes

Today, we're looking at a hay bale catching on fire at Universal Ostrich Farms, where the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is attempting to carry out a cull of 400 healthy birds following a brief outbreak of avian influenza in December 2024. Few details have emerged after the fire started, as tensions on the farm are escalating.

Plus, the RCMP and CFIA authorities are effectively laying siege to the property in remote southeastern British Columbia, with Rebel News' Drea Humphrey and Sheila Gunn Reid getting an aerial view on Tuesday of the government's staging operations at the farm.

And finally, we'll hear the latest developments from Sheila and Drea, who remain on the ground at the farm.

Help Rebel News continue its reporting on the Ostrich massacre!

For months, our team has been on the ground at Universal Ostrich Farms, documenting every step of this tragedy — from the first ominous signs of federal overreach to the night nearly a thousand shots rang out, leaving a field of hundreds of dead ostriches and a family shattered.

Our journalists confronted the RCMP, pressed CFIA officials, launched drones to reveal the truth, and refused to be intimidated or silenced.

But holding powerful institutions to account takes resources: travel, security, legal access, and the manpower of an around-the-clock reporting team.

If you believe in independent journalism that asks the tough questions the establishment won’t touch, please chip in to help us keep digging.

    If this were an American story, Drea Humphrey would be in the running for a Pulitzer Prize.
