— The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says an ostrich that was part of a B.C.
flock that was recently issued a last-minute stay of a cull order by the Supreme Court of Canada has died.
The agency says the bird at Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, B.C., had a previous injury and a pre-existing condition that impacted its left leg and mobility, and was being treated by the owners for some time.
It was given a temporary reprieve after the Supreme Court of Canada issued a last-minute stay of the cull last month.
The CFIA has said it will comply with the stay and file a response with the High Court, while it maintains control of the ostrich enclosure at the farm outside the small southeastern B.C.
