Canadian Court Approves Ostrich Cull Despite Legal and Public Opposition
TL;DR
Canada's Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal to save a British Columbia ostrich flock infected with avian influenza, leading to the government's decision to cull the 330 birds, despite efforts by farm supporters and notable figures like RFK Jr. The culling is part of standard disease control measures, and the farm's research claims remain unsubstantiated according to authorities.
