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.

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.
