CFIA to Proceed with Ostrich Culling in British Columbia
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced it will proceed with a full culling of hundreds of ostriches at a farm in British Columbia. This decision follows the farm owners' unsuccessful attempt to have their case heard by the Supreme Court of Canada.
"The CFIA says it will move forward with a complete cull of hundreds of ostriches at a British Columbia farm after the owners lost a bid to have their case heard by the Supreme Court of Canada."
Legal Developments
The Supreme Court of Canada declined to hear the appeal regarding the ostrich cull, effectively endorsing the lower court's ruling. As a result, the CFIA can continue with its plans without further legal obstacles.
