Canada’s food safety regulator says it will proceed with “total depopulation” of hundreds of ostriches at a British Columbia farm, following the owners’ unsuccessful bid to have their case against the cull heard by the country’s highest court.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced its plans to move ahead with the cull at Universal Ostrich Farms shortly after the court rendered its decision this morning. The farm is located in the small town of Edgewood, B.C., roughly 150 kilometres east of Kelowna.
