Canadian officials, backed by RCMP, moved to seize nearly 400 ostriches at Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, B.C., after two birds tested positive for H5N1. Owners argue the remaining flock has been disease-free for over 250 days and should be studied, not culled. Emotions ran high as they demanded retesting and sought a Supreme Court appeal, challenging Canadian Food Inspection Agency policy they call outdated and destructive.
