RCMP visit B.C. ostrich farm to prepare for potential cull enforcement and arrests
- RCMP liaison officers visited Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, B.C., preparing for potential arrests related to a planned cull of about 400 ostriches.
- In response to an avian influenza outbreak that resulted in the deaths of numerous ostriches in December, federal authorities mandated the destruction of the remaining birds, a directive that was recently confirmed by a Federal Court ruling.
- Protesters oppose the cull and have gathered at the farm, livestreaming police visits, while officers emphasize respecting lawful protest and maintaining peace during enforcement.
- An officer emphasized the importance of upholding individuals' right to protest and expressed a desire for any potential arrests to occur without harm, while the farm may receive up to $3,000 in compensation for each bird culled.
- The cull will proceed despite landfill concerns about carcass disposal, and the situation suggests ongoing tensions requiring careful police monitoring to ensure peaceful resolution.
