Gunshots are heard on a Canadian Ostrich farm, the first sign of anti-computerism
On Thursday evening, authorities from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency agency descended on farms around the world in British Columbia, Canada, according to Globar News Canada. It is reported that they herded 300 large birds into a hay bale pen, and later, gunfire erupted over the farm – possibly signaling the beginning of the conflict.
A video posted on Universal Ostrich’s Facebook page on Thursday shows what appears to be dozens of ostriches locked inside a hay bale pen.
These events took place just hours after Canada dismissed the action plan from the owners of Universal Ostrich farms to hear the appeal to save the appeal to save the herd to save their herd. Despite fierce protests from owners, their supporters, and Trump administration officials, the Court moved out of fear of an outbreak of bird flu.
The current status of the birds is unclear. Gizmodo reached out to the CFIA and Universal Ostrich Farms but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
Another bird flu disaster
Universal Ostrich Farms – located in Edgewood, British Columbia – has been campaigning on behalf of its birds since May 13, when a court ordered the CFIA to kill nearly 400 Ostriches.
The CFIA issued the order after an anonymous tip alerted it to an outbreak of H5N1 Avian influenza at Universal Ostrich farms that killed just 30 birds, according to Canadian Corporate Law Firm Cassels. That outbreak eventually led to the death of 69 ostriches.
Farms across British Columbia have endured brutal waves of bird flu since 2022, prompting managers to cut more than 8.7 million commercial birds in the province, according to the CBC. That’s more than half of the country’s 14.5 million bill.
The culls were obtained by Canada’s “jumping” policy, which aims to stop the spread of bird flu by removing infected animals from the health of each country.
Maha in the mix
The Universal Ostrich Farms case has received a lot of attention from the news media, social media, and politics. In May, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Canadian officials who were tasked with trying to save the ostriches, argued that they could be used for bird research.
The US administrator of the centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services, Mehmet Oz (who was known as the TV personality Dr. Oz), also offered to move the birds to his farm in Florida, but Universal Ostrich Farms refused.
And Rfk Jr. and OZ comments on the decision of the Court of Appeal. After the decision was announced, Katie Pasitney, spokeswoman for Universal Ostrich Farms, told the media that the CFIA was “killing” healthy birds, the Guardian reports.
“They’re ancient animals that have survived for millions of years, but they won’t survive the Canadian food inspection,” he said. Owner Dave Bilinski is reported to have said ‘he was afraid – in my opinion – there was no justice left. “
