Save the ostriches! Help stop the Canadian government's cruel killing order
Hundreds of healthy, immune ostriches are set to be slaughtered by government mandate while groundbreaking research and a family farm’s livelihood hang in the balance.
Just over one week! That's all the time ostrich farmers in Edgewood, British Columbia, have to save their flock of 400 ostriches. February 1 isn’t just the deadline for the slaughter of these exotic birds, which their farmers insist are healthy, it’s also the date they’re required to dispose of the bodies.

A BC, Canada Ostrich Farm Owner's CRY FOR HELP From The Public. The Culling Agenda Marches On. Healthy Immune Ostriches With Antibodies Who Aren't Sick To Be Slaughtered By The Liberal Government. Ostriches Don't Go Anywhere & Not Used As Food Supply... pic.twitter.com/rIimMBD26g
Why? Because the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a culling order after an anonymous tip led them to the secluded farm and claimed that the PCR test results they ran on two diseased birds came back positive for H5N1 avian flu weeks ago.
Yet as you’ll learn in an upcoming report, the farmers have good reason to believe that their 400 remaining long-necked friends have already achieved natural immunity for the avian flu and it’s possible that the younger ones who did get sick were not sick with H5N1 at all.
Even worse, the ostriches at Universal Ostrich Farms are not even used for human consumption. Instead, they’ve been crucial to a groundbreaking collaboration with Japan’s Kyoto Prefectural University.
Through this partnership, scientists and the university’s president, Dr. Yasuhiro Tsukamoto, have been successfully extracting antibodies from the birds robust eggs in an effort to further interventions to the avian flu that's supposedly the reason for ordering the killing of the birds and millions upon millions of others like them.
But such progress doesn’t align with the $590 million grant Moderna just received to develop mRNA vaccines for bird flu, does it?

As a lover of all Gods creations. I believe this to be utterly heart breaking and they should not have the right to do this heinous act let the birds live.

Margaret Basaraba commented 2025-01-25 13:48:18 -0500It is absolutely wrong to kill these birds. Thousands of people will not die because of these birds.
This reminds me of the crazy things that happened during Covid, like the six inch rule. Insane!
Remember that you will be held accountable. Anyone involved should be fired from their jobs. Or sued as many involved in the Covid debacle are now facing legal action.
Private property and possessions should not be available for destruction by the government.

Dolline Parker commented 2025-01-24 23:03:16 -0500It appears that this country is truly a nanny state. Some government official must have their hands in Moderna’s back pocket. Japan’s Kyoto Prefectural University is ahead of the game with their research on the avian flu. You would think that it would make better sense for the drug company to collaborate with the University,…but that would cut into profits!! What proof did the anonymous tip have??? Stop the insanity and leave these beautiful creatures alone.

Our government-citizen structure has turned upside down, not to mention that this particular travesty sounds blatantly sadistic and insane. Please everyone, help to stop this and bring back sense and normalcy to our once proud, free and right-thinking country.
Thank you

Laura Nunn commented 2025-01-24 19:52:23 -0500This is an egregious overstep of authority! It must stop. There is no reason to cull these birds based on an "anonymous tip’ and a claim alleging there is avian flu.
Please reconsider this action. I believe there is no justification to proceed.
thank you
