The mass slaughter of ostriches by the Canadian government, which is beginning as I write, is just bonkers on all sides.
The government claims they have to slaughter every ostrich to protect factory farms from avian flu. Evil!
The "owners" call the government psychopaths but neglect to point out that they were ALSO going to slaughter all the birds (for meat). Equally evil!
Can we have a non-evil alternative in this dispute?
🚨 BREAKING: There's a heavy police presence at the Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, where CFIA officers are at the scene to carry out the cull order on a flock of 400 ostriches.
There is no virus among these birds, and this is typical Canadian government overreach.
Police and officials with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. They were met by dozens of protesters in support of the birds and the farm’s owner.
WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN
