00:00The CFIA has completed the cull of hundreds of ostriches on an Edgewood farm.
00:05The original cull order was issued for Universal Ostrich Farm nearly a year ago after avian
00:11flu hit the flock, killing almost 70 of them.
00:14The farm legally fought the cull, but on Thursday the Supreme Court of Canada ruled it wouldn't
00:20hear the farm's appeal.
00:22The CFIA says professional marksmen were used to cull a herd of 300 to 330 birds Thursday
00:29night in a controlled setting on the farm.
00:33It was also done under veterinary supervision.
00:36This is one of the biggest crimes in Canadian history.
00:40They come here, make a massacre of healthy animals.
00:46Not one of them was ever tested by CFIA.
00:50They are all healthy animals, all producing antibodies worth a lot of money, not in just
00:55cash but for humanity.
00:57The CFIA says the farm is still under quarantine and officials are now working to dispose of
01:03the ostriches.
