The Federal Court of Appeal has denied the request of the owners of a southeastern B.C. ostrich farm to perform additional avian flu testing on their flock in an effort to prevent a cull mandated by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
The decision, released online this week, grants a temporary suspension to the upcoming cull of the farm’s 399 birds. The court will issue its ruling on the farm’s appeal of the cull by the week of July 21.
