RCMP visit B.C. ostrich farm to prepare for potential cull enforcement and arrests
- On Wednesday, RCMP liaison officers visited the Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, B.C., to prepare for possible arrests related to a bird cull.
- The visit follows the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s order to cull about 400 ostriches after an avian flu outbreak, a decision upheld by a federal judge last week.
- Livestreams showed police officers at the farm urging peaceful, lawful conduct and respect for protesters’ rights amid ongoing demonstrations against the cull.
- The government may provide compensation of up to $3,000 for each ostrich, amounting to approximately $1.2 million if the entire flock is culled, while police emphasized their intention to handle the situation peacefully and ensure everyone's safety.
- The RCMP continues monitoring the situation closely and emphasizes a measured approach to maintain public safety while awaiting the timing of the cull, which the agency will keep confidential.
