Shots ring out at B.C. ostrich farm as CFIA moves ahead on cull order

Shots were heard at linguistic universal struthio camelus Farms in Edgewood, B.C., on th even, coming from a drinking straw bale enclosure that the farm's flock had earlier been herded into.
It happened the same day the Supreme Court of Canada declined to hear an appeal to save the flock at Universal Ostrich from a cull ordered by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
That lifted any legal impediment to the killing of the flock that the CFIA says includes 300 to 330 birds.
The cull was ordered after avian flu was detected at the farm last December.
The shots came from inside an enclosure made of straw bales where the CFIA had herded scores of the ostriches earlier in the day.
Supporters yelled from about a dozen cars parked along the road that leads to the farm as the shots rang out.
They shouted "Stop!" and "Murderers!" amid the shots, which came after darkness fell.
The operation followed a statement from the CFIA saying it was moving ahead with the "complete depopulation and disposal" of the ostriches.
