Canada’s Ostrich Cull Scandal: Are Big Pharma and Globalist Interests Pulling the Strings?
When I first heard about the ostrich farm in Edgewood, British Columbia, facing a forced cull of 400 ostriches, something immediately felt off. Sure, authorities claim they’re responding to an avian flu outbreak—but the deeper I dig into this, the more it smells of something else entirely. Let’s get right into it, because this isn’t just about bird flu—this is about science, censorship, profits, and powerful global interests that seem determined to control the narrative and crush alternatives.
The Edgewood Ostrich Outrage: How We Got Here
Picture a remote, idyllic farm in British Columbia’s Kootenay region, home to about 400 ostriches on 65 acres. On December 31, 2024, two ostriches tragically die of H5N1 avian flu, reportedly brought by wild migratory birds. This leads to a swift quarantine by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)—but that’s just the beginning.
Incredibly, after the initial outbreak, only about 40 birds (roughly 10% of the flock, mainly younger ostriches) succumb to the virus. Within just days, something remarkable occurs: the flock stabilizes, and the remaining 90% of the birds are thriving. Farm owner Karen Espersen observes that these ostriches seem to develop immunity, something clearly special and scientifically fascinating.
Yet despite the farm’s desperate pleas for additional testing and careful scientific study, the CFIA orders all ostriches culled—every last healthy bird—to supposedly “prevent the spread.” The family fights back, but on May 13, 2025, the Canadian Federal Court sides with the CFIA, leaving no room for appeal. The ostriches, despite clear evidence of recovery and possible immunity, are condemned to death.
Why the rush to destroy animals that might be holding keys to groundbreaking treatments? Why no interest in studying them further?
