The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) says it will remain at a B.C. ostrich farm to feed and oversee the flock that has been under a cull order since last December, following a temporary suspension of the cull by the Supreme Court.
The CFIA said it has full custody of the ostriches at Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, B.C. and advised that any obstruction of their actions is a criminal offence, according to a Sept. 26 release. The agency also said the ongoing delay in culling the flock presents increased danger to human and animal health.
