Episode 15

The Ostrich Con

The close to one year long battle in 2025 between the owners of the Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, BC and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is presented. The issue is that some of the ostriches had tested positive for H5N1 in December, 2024, a highly pathogenic avian flu, and as is Canadian regulation for poultry farming, similar to the US, the CFIA was to cull the remaining flock (in this case close to four hundred animals) for food and pubic safety in the high possibility of the virus having been transmitted to other animals in the flock and/or the virus mutating to infect other species including humans. The initial problem is that the owners did not inform the CFIA of having sick birds as is required, the owners claiming that their burning of the few sick birds was in the assumption that it was a non-serious bacterial infection, with the CFIA only informed through an unnamed whistle blower of the burning activity of the owners. The owners managed to get one injunction after another to prevent the cull through a social media campaign not with the help of animal rights activists as one might believe, but rather "freedom fighters" i.e. those that led the pandemic era convoys protesting vaccine mandates, both protests based in the notion of government overreach. The owners' assertion was not only that their flock was healthy in having built up antibodies through herd immunity, but that there was scientific evidence that the birds could provide valuable research potential, said evidence provided through their company, Struthio BioScience. Through this battle which would escalate to threats of and actual violence against those on the side of the cull, including employees of the CFIA and many Edgewood residents, and the owners who would have among their supporters right wing media in the US and the administration in the White House, the cull would eventually take place in November, 2025. This documentary highlights not only the false claims made through Struthio and as such of the owners, but that they knew of the lies all in the name of money or that, is apropos in this situation, they had their heads buried in the sand in wanting to believe that their side was in the right.
