Description

The owners of a remote British Columbia ostrich farm are being told to round up 400 of their ostriches and kill them by February 1 after two of the birds reportedly came down with avian flu. Founded in 1995, Universal Ostrich Farm sells bird oil, feathers and skins, and is involved in an international program to produce antibodies and, ultimately, a vaccine to deal with the H5N1 avian flu pandemic. Jimmy speaks with Universal Ostrich Farm’s Katie Pasitney and Kari Simpson about the crisis and why they feel the Canadian government is overreacting and that the ostriches they love and care for should recover after developing antibodies, and represent a threat to no one.

What if they just make all the Ostriches stand 6 feet away from each other?

I live a couple hours from this farm. It's in a very remote area. Our government is completely insane.

Being a Canadian I can tell you once the decision is made, the people in the government will use every resource available in a total overkill maneuver, fine and put everyone involved in jail for not complying. It doesn't matter how absurd the order is. There's no end to how absolute and vindictive these people are. People in the government here are absolutely mad with power.

This smells like a land grab to me. I am mortified and I’m sending you all the love and support that my heart can manufacture.

Jimmy, I don’t know if you read these comments but I’m a poultry farmer in Maryland, or at least my father is and I work for him. In the last four years we have seen 3 outbreaks of avian. I worked with my dad for ten years prior to covid, we never saw an avian outbreak. It was something only whispered about and feared. The treatment is killing of all infected birds and all broiler birds housed with the infected even if they’re negative. So if one bird test positive on a farm the whole farm dies. They’ve killed off several farms in my area of millions of birds. It’s terrifying. You also cannot grow birds for six months after testing positive. Something is definitely off. It’s not normal

When she said that they make antibodies for natural immunity, it made perfect sense as to why they are shutting the farm down.

Thanks Jimmy for publicizing the Universal Ostrich Farm's plight. It should become a cause to all North Americans.
