The funny headline is what a funny-but-serious story deserves. Especially when the owners are nutters, as are the Canadian version of MAGAts and FreeDumb fighters.
Canadian ostriches, avian flu, Brainworm Bobby, ostrich herd immunity claims and both Canadian PM Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre being standard political chickenshits? (Kuff didn't comment on that part, cuz, "insular American," in posting this in a link dump.) Give it a read. Substack and Goodreads friend Adam McPhee surely loves that Canadian Greens leader Elizabeth May has decided to her oar as well. Maybe somebody from the U.S. Green Party will wade in next?
I mean, it even has its own Wiki page now, and to update that Politico link? The Canadian Supreme Court, after a hearing, refused to accept an appeal of the case. The remaining ostriches have been whacked.
Finally, why in the hell are Canajians, even in relatively winter-mild BC, raising fricking ostriches, native to sub-Saharan Africa? The ostrich farm and supporters talking about Canadian Food Inspection Agency animal cruelty should look in the mirror, first. (It's even worse because Edgewood is in interior BC, hundreds of miles east of the Coast Mountains, at an elevation above 1,000 feet and with plenty of subfreezing nights and at least a few days that don't get above it.
