Subhead:Universal Ostrich Farms is not giving up on its fight to protect the freedom to farm and freedom of science.#
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) controversial plan to “humanely depopulate” nearly 400 healthy and thriving ostriches at Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, B.C., is being formally contested yet again.
The farm’s new counsel, Victoria-based Umar Sheikh, whose costs are being crowdfunded by supporters, filed a Notice of Appeal Monday afternoon. The document seeks to overturn the Federal Court’s May 13 decision that allowed the federal agency to move forward with slaying the exotic breed over avian influenza concerns.
