People gather at B.C. ostrich farm to protest order to cull flock of birds

21-05-2025

The remote community of Edgewood, B.C., finds itself at the heart of a dispute. Demonstrators began gathering this weekend at Universal Ostrich farm, to protest the order to cull a flock of 400 ostriches. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordered the cull because two dead birds tested positive for the avian flu in December. This all comes after the farm lost a court case last week on May 13th, seeking to overturn the order. Radio-Canada reporter Camille Vernet reports from the farm where protesters from across Western Canada have set up camp
