RDCK rejects ostrich carcasses

My Creston Now Staff
By My Creston Now Staff

The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is intervening in the pending cull of 400 birds from the Universal Ostrich farm in Edgewood.

But Area K Director Teresa Weatherhead isn’t sure their move will have any impact.

“We came to a resolution to not accept the ostrich’s until there is further testing as of May 15,”  she stated, adding that the RDCK has no power over federal agencies.

“We have no way of knowing where that motion will go to the C-F-I-A as a board resolution from the Regional District of Central Kootenay,” she explained.

Weatherhead says the landfill has the capacity to handle the carcasses.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency hasn’t said when it will begin the cull, ordered because of an avian flu infection.

Supporters have been gathering at the farm since a federal judge overturned the farm’s challenge of the order earlier this week.
