Culling The Cure: The Aftermath of Canada’s Ostrich Slaughter

Help us finish the film!

They called it “biosecurity” and “stamping out,” but we showed you the truth:

Hundreds of healthy, untested ostriches, senselessly gunned down in the dark on a peaceful family farm.

Now, Rebel News is in the final stages of completing Culling The Cure: The Aftermath of Canada’s Ostrich Slaughter, a full investigative documentary examining why the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, with RCMP support, spent millions of taxpayer dollars to turn Universal Ostrich Farms into a killing field.

This wasn’t just about one farm.

And it wasn’t just about disease control.

It’s about science, policy, and power.

The farmers argued their healthy birds were part of ongoing antibody research that could have helped protect future flocks from avian flu culls. The state said they had no value worthy of exemption.

We’ve traveled from the Rocky Mountains to the Arizona desert, from New York City to the halls of Parliament in Ottawa, following the evidence to determine who is right.

This story is bigger than ostriches.

It raises serious questions about how governments use “animal health” policies, how dissent is handled when citizens push back, and whether scientific opportunity was sacrificed in the name of bureaucratic control.

Rebel News was there from the beginning — reporting from inside the farm, documenting the cull, covering the legal battles, questioning officials, and securing footage the public was never meant to see.

Now we need your help to finish the job.

This film requires extensive post-production, additional interviews, research, travel, and a full-scale promotional launch — all of which comes at significant cost beyond what we’ve already invested.

If you believe this story must be told, please consider supporting the completion of this documentary.

Help us show the world what really happened.

HELP US FINISH OUR OSTRICH DOCUMENTARY

Please help us tell the story of Canada's senseless ostrich massacre

The government slaughtered hundreds of healthy ostriches on a small family farm in Edgewood, B.C., and if we don’t document what really happened, they’ll keep calling this massacre a “cull” and move on. Our answer is a Rebel News documentary that uses months of on-the-ground reporting and exclusive footage to expose the CFIA, the RCMP, and the system that destroyed Universal Ostrich Farm.

But finishing this film properly will cost at least another $25,000, on top of what we’ve already spent just to cover the story.
