Edgewood Ostriches survive another month

Kate Brown
By Kate Brown

The Federal Court of Appeal has granted a stay on the cull order of nearly 400 ostriches in Edgewood.

Katie Pasitney, spokesperson for Universal Ostrich Farm says this is a big win.

“We’re going to change policies; we’re going to change laws. We can do this.” said Katie.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) had ordered the farm to cull the entire flock of birds after it declared an avian influenza outbreak at the property late last year, however the farm’s appeal to pause the cull was granted Friday afternoon.
