The 11 -hour court instruction to prevent more than 400 ostriches is granted to farms in British Columbia, maintaining the owner of science and research dedicated to birds and birds. We own time to advocate.
On January 31, Judge Michael Batista ordered the Canadian Food Inspection Bureau (CFIA) to suspend the original order until the court could judge.
The edge’s Universal Ostrich farm, about 200 kilometers east of Kerona, contacted a veterinarian in December 2024 after some of the young birds became ill. Before they heard the reply, the farm was contacted by the CFIA after suggesting an anonymous chip that could have a bird with H5n1 or bird flu.
After testing two young died ostriches, CFIA judged that it had H5N1 and decided that it was necessary to select the whole flock. Universaldacho is responsible for humanity massacre and disposal.
After the exemption application failed, the farm had maintained a legal advisor, Spokesman Katie Pacitney told the Epoch Times. On January 31, a day before the bird was scheduled to be CUL, Judge Batista called for a judicial examination and at least released CUL.
On February 1, 2025, one of BC’s Universal Ostrich farms of BC. Paleman Askari.
“They were trying to break our natural immunity. We are very grateful that we won this little victory.

“The judge … I heard that this is not a versatile solution, so I need to stop this and reconsider.”
Judge Battista stated in his decision, saying that promoting the ULL order before further examined the problem would “expose the applicant to an irreparable harm.”
CFIA states that in order to minimize the risk of viruses to Canadian flocks and other animals, “the timely depopulation of household birds in infected facilities … it includes ostriches.”
“The response of our illness is to protect the health of public and animal and minimize the impact on the domestic poultry industry and the Canadian economy. This is access to the international market. Support Canadian family and poultry farmers who are dependent on maintaining.
Discussion of immunity in the flock
Michael Carter, a leading lawyer who has secured the court’s instruction, says that the Ministry of Justice is now reviewing its options and evidence before continuing.

“They are still in a position to have a health risk. They want to hear this right away so that they can do the order of Kal,” Carter told Epoch Times.
“When we reach the actual hearing of the judicial examination itself, we argue that the stamping out policy is not subtle and unwavering, and it is necessary to see these cases in more cases. But the case at hand.
He suggests an expert that a better approach is to maintain an immunity to the virus, not a new flock.
“The report from an expert that we have received it is actually better to maintain a dowb with surviving and developing immunity, rather than killing those ostriches and bringing new ostriches that are susceptible to the influenza of birds. Indicates that it is safe.
Culling all the ostriches, including healthy things, is defeated by the strength provided by the excess of the flock, and even if the farm starts with zero with new birds, prepare for the next outbreak. He said there would be no one.
“The problem is not to solve the actual problem. You still have wild birds that will be infected with new flocks that do not resist the virus.”
“What you really want to do is want to establish a group of surviving bird genetics, and then they are more likely to get sick and have more likely to die.”
Risk research
Universal Ostrich is owned by Pacitony’s mother, Karen Supersen, and her business partner, Dave Billinsky. Along with Canada, the United States, and Japanese scientists and researchers, they formed Struthio Bioscience. There, their ostriches are used to research and create antibodies for fighting viruses like H5N1 in both animals and humans.

But if they were forced to enact the CFIA orders, Pacitney said progress and research could go to the grave with birds.
Professor Perek pointed out that the value of an ostrich is more than the case that the antibody of the egg is Wind drop for research, diagnosis, and treatment, which is compensated as a slaughter of a farm. I did.
“These antibodies are valuable, and in order to focus on it, from the viewpoint of the volume of these antibodies, about 400 talk about 25 micrograms in the research market. It’s a dollar, “he said.
“One egg can be worth $ 50,000, so animals are industrial levels as a source of antibody, and one ostrich can lay up to 100 eggs in the season. If it is used for the purpose of the research, we will start to check the value of these birds.
Pacitney is to build an extraction facility around Canada, even the world, and some of the progress made by Struthio Bioscience is among other projects, including lining masks with H5N1 barriers. 。
“We should be able to prove ourselves here. I was threatened by prison time and a fine of $ 200,000, so I don’t know how it looks and how we move forward.” I did it. “So we reorganize to see what it looks, but they are still in the chopping block.”
Pacitney says that the court’s massacre has been grace, but the battle has not yet been over.
“It’s still emotional, we have a little time now, and we have religion,” she said.
The statement of the website states that the world’s first detected worldwide influenza in Canada in December 2021, “continues to have a major impact on the national poultry industry.”
According to CFIA, “this is a difficult situation for all stakeholders, such as animal owners, producers, animal medical experts, and communities nationwide.”
