'I don't know how they can kill this many': Order to cull 400 B.C. ostriches may breach cruelty law: lawyer
- British Columbia ostrich farmers are ordered to cull 400 birds due to an avian flu outbreak, with a deadline of February 1 set by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency .
- The farmers are requesting more time to demonstrate the scientific value of their ostriches, which are part of a research project on COVID-19 antibodies.
- About 10% of the ostriches have died since the outbreak, which was linked to wild ducks landing near the farm, according to Katie Pasitney, daughter of co-owner Karen Espersen.
- The CFIA's decision has been criticized, as experts suggest the farm could be monitored instead of culling, given that many ostriches are surviving the infection.
