US EditionFate of B.C. ostriches looms with federal court hearing
- The owners of Universal Ostrich, Karen Esperson and Dave Bilinski, are fighting against an order to cull their 400-herd ostrich farm due to avian influenza concerns, with a federal court hearing expected in the next 10 days.
- The Canadian Food Inspection Agency had ordered the destruction of all birds on the farm after some tested positive for avian influenza, but a stay order paused this action pending review.
- Universal Ostrich has challenged the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's decision, emphasizing their herd's health and the ostriches' unique resilience, which is being studied for potential cures for other birds.
- The farm has raised over $32,000 through GoFundMe for their legal battle, with the owners stating they received no testing options from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency despite more than 300 ostriches showing no symptoms of the disease.
