Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford say they support saving the lives of a flock of ostriches on a B.C. farm that has been issued a cull order by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) over avian flu concerns.
The CFIA ordered the cull of about 400 birds at the Universal Ostrich farm in Edgewood, B.C., after 69 ostriches died following a breakout of avian flu among the herd in December 2024 and January 2025.
