B.C. ostrich farm’s bid for stay of cull order rejected by Federal Court of Appeal

The Federal Court of Appeal has denied an application for another stay order to delay a cull of about 400 ostriches at a British Columbia farm that was hit by an outbreak of avian influenza.

Katie Pasitney, the spokeswoman for Universal Ostrich Farms, says the ruling means an interim stay granted last weekend to give the farm time to make legal submissions “no longer exists.”
