Tonight on The Ezra Levant Show, an ostrich farm in Edgewood, British Columbia, has become a global news sensation. Having visited the farm, Ezra understands why.

At its core, people are drawn to animals, and the idea of 400 healthy birds being arbitrarily, cruelly, unscientifically, and authoritatively culled by the government is deeply unsettling. However, the issue extends beyond that.

It's fundamentally about property rights — the right to own animals and to protect one's farm from government intervention. It also highlights the overreach of public health officials, who, having gained power during the COVID pandemic, are employing similar tactics here.

Furthermore, as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pointed out in his letter to the Canadian government, these birds recovered from avian flu and now possess herd immunity. Their health is crucial and warrants scientific study, a fact he emphasized by offering the full support of the U.S. government for examination.

Instead, the Canadian government has escalated the situation, deploying approximately 50 RCMP officers from across B.C. This resembles a showdown, reminiscent of the Trudeau government's response to the trucker convoy. The atmosphere feels eerily similar.

When Ezra spoke with an RCMP officer on site, he repeatedly stressed that the RCMP were not in charge, but rather federal bird bureaucrats. This is a terrifying prospect.

While Ezra returns to Rebel News headquarters, Drea Humphrey and Sydney Fizzard continue to report from the farm, with chief reporter Sheila Gunn Reid on her way.

We've published nearly 100 stories on this issue, including critical fact-checks against misinformation from the CBC. Ezra believes this is a vital story that our readers expect us to keep following.

And we will! But we need your support.

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.

    So anyone or any animal who has had the flu or Covid and recovered is considered a threat and must die…and people here support terrorism… we are truly circling the drain. So frustrating!

    Watch what happens here. They won’t shoot the birds. Too loud and obvious. They’ll set up a huge tent structure, herd (or drive with the birds’ heads covered) the birds into into it in the middle of the night so people can’t actually watch what’s happening (though they’ll sure as hell hear it) and gas them all. That or the instantaneous death needle that drops them like flies. Watch, or listen to from afar, the sound of excavators and front-end loaders show up on flat deck trailers. We’ve got to be very proud of the “failed banker” exterminator. Hopefully he doesn’t have pets and decides he doesn’t want them anymore. It’ll be a one way drive out to the countryside. Shortly, this " failed banker" will decide who the people speaking out are and they, also, will be treated to a free, (all expenses paid) holiday camping trip to the backside of a mountain “resort” or 30 miles off the beaten path of the prairies.

    RCMP protecting criminals par for the course. Take them ffs. The cops are corrupt remember coutts when they vandalized private equip on private land. They do not work for us.
    On a lighter note them telling Ezra he could get a ticket for using his cell phone while driving and he says “come get it” ! If it wasn’t for rebel … well I just don’t know where we would be. God bless all of you.

    I oppose the culling of the ostriches. This would be animal cruelty to kill the ostriches, just like killing any other non-human animal. The ostriches are healthy and good for scientific research.

    Is not the PM the ultimate one in charge?

    I wonder how long it will take for the government to start herding political troublemakers into the same pens.

    Welcome, Canada, to the Great Reset. How do you like it so far?

    Hiding the ostrich kill zone sure exposes the CFIA’s lawlessness, as does damaging the farm’s security cameras. The CFIA goons are doing everything possible to look suspicious. It’s a bird version of June 4th, 1989 in Beijing. Then, it was turning off the satellite cameras that triggered the massacre of Chinese students and freedom protesters. If the CFIA gets their way, their dirty deed will be hidden from view. At least the gun shots will be heard.

    I’m confused. CFIA stands for “Canadian Food INSPECTION Agency”. Isn’t “TESTING” part of “INSPECTING”? To not test is negligent. It’s criminal. It’s vindictive. I’ve never seen such a public display of arrogance and pride since what I’ve read and watched about the gestapo. What kind of blackness is in the hearts of these people? And, why is the RCMP party to it? Why aren’t they pressing the CFIA to do their job? Where’s the threats of prison for the CFIA for this evil? Or, am I making too much sense? We can’t have that, can we? It’s strange how some people don’t believe in a devil when he’s playing god right in front of our eyes.
