B.C. ostrich farm wins interim stay, prevents cull of 400 birds over flu
September 6, 2025
A B.C. ostrich farm fighting to stop a cull of its 400-strong flock over an avian flu outbreak has been granted an interim stay by the Federal Court of Appeal in Ottawa, delaying the execution of the birds.
Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, B.C., has been attempting to stop the Canadian Food Inspection Agency from destroying the birds since the cull was ordered amid an avian flu outbreak in December that would go on to kill 69 ostriches.
