The Federal Court of Appeal has heard arguments in a case that challenges a cull order for hundreds of ostriches at a B.C. farm over avian flu concerns.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) ordered about 400 birds at Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, B.C., to be culled after 69 ostriches died in an avian flu outbreak on the farm in December 2024 and January 2025.
