Avenge the Ostriches!

A pointless and heartbreaking massacre carried out in the dead of night

Hundreds of perfectly healthy birds have been slaughtered, all because of the stubborn and vengeful federal government.

When Rebel News first visited the farm, it was a waiting game as the farm’s lawyer had asked the Supreme Court of Canada to intervene to save the birds.

The Supreme Court announced it wouldn’t hear the farm’s appeal — and Carney’s bureaucrats at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency began what can only be described as a massacre.

In the dead of night, they killed the ostriches with nearly 1,000 gunshots.

Ezra Levant arrived on the scene following the massacre, to investigate:

  • Who killed the ostriches? Was it police? Was it military? Was it Mark Carney’s health bureaucracy?
  • Government guidelines say animals have to be sedated before being killed. Did that happen?
  • Was there a veterinarian on the scene, as required by the courts?
  • Why didn’t the police intervene to stop the health bureaucrats from breaking the animal cruelty sections of the Criminal Code?

This was an international incident. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. himself had offered to take custody of the birds, telling the Canadian government they had significant medical research value. Yet Carney’s gunmen massacred hundreds of perfectly healthy birds — and neither the RCMP nor the federal bureaucracy will answer a single question.

Katie Pasitney, the farm owner, has never had a single conversation with Carney’s bureaucrats — they refuse to engage with her, as does the RCMP.

What a disgrace.

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.

    Congratulations on your fabulous work on keeping us informed. You and the Rebel News team are valuable.
    Do you think it’s possible that the next pLandemic has something to do with the H1N5 virus, and Canada’s participation similarly to the Covid required capitulation?
    The minions of the government might have be told to stand down.

    Thank you Drea and Sheila for helping to stop the culling of the ostriches. The ostriches deserve to live on the farm. They are like family and pets to the owners of the bird farm.

    The relationship of one familiar ground area to another was developed for about a total of 4 minutes near the middle of a disappointing repeating circular 75 minute flight which was a hemorrhage of our donations.
    PLEASE get BAD Publicity for the names of the renters, contractors & supporters to CFIA.
    Their customers are watching. Any testing of the birds would prove the December PCR tests WRONG

    Instead of the RCMP fighting crime in our streets, these brave soldiers decide to slaughter healthy innocent animals instead. I would like to hear how you explain this to your children. Shame on you all who are involved in this heinous act!

    Is independant testing an option to deter/convince the government of their health status, why not fund this with a certified testing facility?

    Frank N – totally agree with your take on the government. Government hates the people. And the people in eastern Canada are too thick to figure it out. So they keep voting these people in. Although, I have seen enough sketchy moves allowed by elections Canada to doubt the integrity of the vote. Who knows, if they can keep counting the libs may get their majority. Canada has become one of those countries Trump referred to as a sh#%hole.

    This is insane. There needs to be a huge protest with people protecting the birds and refusing to allow the murderers to trespass on their land. Or maybe hire a lot of big trucks and head south to the states with the birds. The Americans have a lot more sense and would probably grant asylum.

    Please save these birds. They are innocent victims. There is no reason to slaughter them. They are proved healthy.

    The government has a mandate on killing what ever they can.
    People-animals-unborn children.
    They kill because they want to.

    This whole thing is a horseshit of the highest caliber.
    - Why is government using taxpayers’ money to subsidise Moderna, a company whose previous “vaccine” product proved to be utterly useless?
    - Why is there an “anonymous” snitch entering a private property to run tests, any tests on livestock they do not own, then claiming their PCR tests proved the birds were/are positive for avian flu? Show me your positive PCR test these particular birds are sick! No proof – no case, period. And a charge for de facto Break and Enter for a good measure.
    - Why is government so quick to destroy 400 animals on the word/hearsay (without actual proof) of a snitch? Doesn’t that stink of the behaviour of the snitches during Covid who tattled on people going out to get some exercise such as playing basketball within their own family members?
    I have so many questions about this whole thing but, knowing that our government basically consists of WEF disciples, I believe I already know the answers.
    Canada needs to get out of the following: WHO, UN, Paris Accord, and drop any and all affiliations with WEF.
