Ostrich flock set to be slaughtered without urgent intervention

This is an injustice, and it shouldn't be done in the dark. The whole world should see what is about to go down in this country.

I'm two hours away from Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, B.C. I drove through the night to get out here as it's a nine-hour trek. Why? Why is it important that Rebel News is there?

Well many of you know that in hours, days, or within the week, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's kill order will be fulfilled unless some miracle stops that.

That is the order to kill 400 healthy, prehistoric, exotic ostriches in the name of protecting public health from the avian flu.

But as many of you know from following my reports at SaveTheOstriches.com, that makes no sense because their eggs, with their robust antibodies, are being used in partnership with the U.S., a university in Japan, and Canada to come up with a defence against the avian flu.

This is an injustice, and it shouldn't be done in the dark. The whole world should see what is about to go down in this country. There's been a call to action by the farmers, and I hear there's already around 40 people there gathering. So who knows what's going to happen. 

You can follow along at SaveTheOstriches.com, and please, if you value our journalism, consider chipping in to cover the modest travel expenses involved for me to be there to show you the truth about what's happening.

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.
