Protesters have gathered at an ostrich farm in southeastern B.C. where the giant birds are set to be culled. The co-owner of Universal Ostrich has asked supporters to surround her farm after a judge backed-up the Canadian Food Inspection Agency order. The CFIA says it will move ahead with the humane depopulation and disposal of the birds at the infected premises in Edgewood. Those who run the farm says the surviving ostriches appear healthy and should be retested for bird flu.
