Ostriches at B.C. farm have version of avian flu not seen elsewhere in Canada: CFIA
Article content Article content It said the version includes a genotype that has been associated with a human infection in a poultry worker in Ohio. Article content The agency also said Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, B.C., had been fined $20,000 for failing to co-operate with anti-avian flu measures. Article content It said the farmers who are resisting a cull order have not substantiated claims of scientific research on the birds, and that the agency's planning for a cull of the birds goes on as protesters gather in an 'apparent attempt' to block the killings. Article content Article content The statement represents a rejection of the proposals of U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who wrote to the CFIA's president last week and called for the birds to be saved for joint research. Article content Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is the administrator for the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, also said the birds should be saved and offered to relocate them to his ranch in Florida. Article content The agency said in its statement that it had issued two violation notices to the farm for failing to report illnesses and deaths among the flock last year, and failing to follow quarantine orders. Article content 'The farm also failed to undertake appropriate biosecurity risk mitigation measures such as limiting wild bird access to the ostriches, controlling water flow from the quarantine zone to other parts of the farm, or improving fencing,' it said. Article content Article content 'These actions significantly increase the risk of disease transmission and reflect a disregard for regulatory compliance and animal health standards.' Article content Katie Pasitney, whose parents own the farm, said in a brief interview that she was unsure whether the fines were a new move by the CFIA but 'nothing surprises me at this point.' Article content Dozens of protesters have gathered at the farm for weeks. Their numbers were bolstered on Friday by the arrival of a convoy of at least a dozen vehicles, social media livestreams showed. Article content Sixty-nine ostriches died in December and January during an avian flu outbreak. The farm owners have said that the surviving 400 or so birds have developed herd immunity and are a valuable resource for scientists. Article content 'CFIA has not received any evidence of scientific research being done at the infected premises,' the agency said. Article content 'Research documentation was not provided during the review of their request for exemption from the disposal order based on unique genetics or during the judicial review process. Further, the current physical facilities at their location are not suitable for controlled research activities or trials.'

Police: $500K worth of whisky stolen from transport truck in Windsor, Ont.
Investigators in southwestern Ontario are searching for at least six suspects who authorities say recently pulled off a large-scale whisky heist by swiping more than 1,000 boxes of Crown Royal from a transport truck. The stolen Canadian liquor has a retail value of nearly $500,000, according to Windsor police, and some of it has since made its way east of Windsor to other cities. "In my time here, I can't say that I have recalled seeing anything like this before," Const. Bianca Jackson, a spokesperson for the Windsor Police Service, said Wednesday. According to police, on the night of May 17, the thieves broke into a fenced-in facility on Devon Drive, an industrial area near Devonshire Mall, and stole the loaded trailer. The next day, the trailer was found empty in the 4000 block of County Road 46. A short surveillance video shared by police shows an individual standing near a dark-coloured transport truck with a white trailer parked in a lot. The suspect can be seen directing a large U-Haul truck to back up behind the doors of the truck trailer. Investigators have asked people who live near Devon Drive or the lot on County Road 46 to check their surveillance or dash cam footage for any possible clues. "There was a rental truck that we believe has been used to transport some of the stolen alcohol down the road to the 401, going east to cities like London and maybe even farther east," Jackson said. "Our officers will work with our neighbouring police services to find out more details and then go from there with the investigation." Jackson said investigators are trying to determine how the suspects knew the alcohol was stored at the Devon Drive facility. Investigators believe six or more persons were involved in the crime. Jackson said that estimate is based in part on the number of people needed "to pull off a theft of this calibre." In an initial statement about the theft, police said the alcohol was valued at $100,000. Jackson said the figure represents the loss for the business owner, while $500,000 is the total retail value. A spokesperson for Diageo, the company that produces Crown Royal, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Canadian whisky is bottled at a plant in Amherstburg, Ont.
