Another day of uncertainty looms over Edgewood’s Universal Ostrich Farm after the owners lost their final appeal to prevent the culling of nearly 400 ostriches. The B.C. birds tested positive for avian flu last winter, and their fate now rests with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

The case has attracted international attention. U.S. radio host and billionaire John Catsimatidis and Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, held a press conference Monday calling on Canadian authorities to allow further testing of the birds from the FDA.

“We’re here because we’re concerned about these iconic, ancient animals,” said Catsimatidis.

Dr. Oz added, “I think we have an opportunity to do something helpful for Canada, for the United States, and for the global community — if we can learn from the 400 ostriches currently in British Columbia.”
