Karen at the Ostrich Farm says that CFIA has approved the killing of their ostriches in one to four days. These birds are their pets, and they have spent years petting and walking amongst them. The ostriches are happy and healthy. She is asking for help to save these animals. She pleads for people to come to the farm at 301 Landfill Road to surround it and prevent the killing of the ostriches. Jump is supposed to be ready for the bodies. She believes that if people come together, they can make a change and stop this from happening.

What do you think led to this situation? They mentioned rabies, and I looked it up. The symptoms are severe, so couldn't they have just observed the squirrel and raccoon to determine they weren't rabid? We didn't hear from the DEC directly; we learned from another news station that they killed Peanut. Since their visit, no DEC or state official has contacted me. They even asked my wife about her immigration status and if I had cameras in the house. Local sheriffs and the DA approved this action, and a judge signed a search warrant to take the animals. The person who claimed to be bitten was surrounded by professionals wearing gloves. How could they say they were bitten by a squirrel?

Stretch, which is 04:30 in the morning, and they have cut the power to our side of the ostrich, pens. We have been now disconnected from power. This is absolutely psychological warfare, terrorism at its biggest on a family that has just been dedicated to doing everything good to protect Canadian farmers. And do it the right way. We've done it in peace, and love, and solidarity, and going through our proper legal channels. Remember, we have a leave into the supreme court with an emergency stay order impending, and they're still doing this with reconsideration material that they will not acknowledge with our expert witness reports. Just, anyway, a heads up that, yes. So they have now dropped our power as of 04:30 this morning on the side of all the ostriches. Send lots of prayers. We love you very much.

Drea asks if the supporter-vet will come tomorrow to check the injured hen. "It's not quite like that. The veterinarian that's here is retired, and she's let her license lapse." The hen is described as "dehydrated and in very weak condition" and "hasn't drank for two or three days." Drea is allowed to view, not treat. "No. Just me." "It's so ridiculous." An electrolyte is given: "it's just an electrolyte that she needs." They say, "I'm not a registered vet." The speaker is "very concerned that this vet knows nothing about ostrich." They accuse media and CFIA of withholding "what's actually wrong" to shape public perception: "What they're putting out there is that we have a sick hen. We don't have a sick hen. We have an injured hen because of the helicopters and the drones flying around." "She's an injured man, not a say can I"

Out of Vernon, they’re bringing the hay. Ideal Lease is carrying the hay. They probably don't know what they're being used for. Katie and the family wanna stay with their animals so they're fed how they're supposed to be fed, as Karen explained yesterday, there’s protocols to be the animals are used to a certain type of feeding style. Jeff over here was calling Ideal Lease and telling him, calling Supersave. Supersave trucks right now have tape on the number and what their and the company name, and the guy is wearing a SuperSave shirt. "SuperSave's the fencing. They would be the disposal bins." Supersave is masking their identity so that people don't know what they're doing. Track down Supersave in the North Okanagan. They wanna take a contract, and they're trying to hide who they are, super safe, and ideal lease. They're carrying the hay to help the CFIA feed the animals because Katie and Karen and Dave are gonna be removed. Jeff was phoning Supersave letting them know what they were doing.

Officers line up as tensions rise between police and supporters outside. The crowd speaks about animal welfare and political fault lines, while referencing CFIA and local decisions. The transcript preserves key lines: "Not to say the birds don't matter. 400 lives of beautiful animals that are no reason to die. Infected with the flu four years ago." "You can step out of this right now. You can just step out. What is it? A job and a paycheck? What's that for your life and your heart and your soul?" "They're a private organization. What private organization deserves this kind of protection? We killed them all." Another speaker questions leadership and accountability: "You think our prime minister not returning call[s] when they wanna talk about these guys?" The exchange ends with calls for action and a claim of impending firings.

There's been people asking about the eggs. So the family has no idea. So these birds probably are laying eggs. What are what is the CFIA doing with the eggs? And unfortunately, the family does not know. They got no way to track this stuff. These guys come in here and and just take over the place. Don't let anybody know what they're doing. They put up all these walls of secrecy to ensure that nobody can see what's going on, and then they wonder why everybody's freaking out. It'd be easy enough for the CFIA to make a statement. It'd be easy enough for the police to make a statement. It'd be easy enough for anybody that knows anything about this to make a statement, but they wanna keep all the public in the in the dark.

The Supreme Court has delayed a planned execution of nearly 400 ostriches in British Columbia after an avian flu outbreak. In a briefing about the case, ostrich farmer Elwood Coburn discussed the situation and his birds, including Bessie. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says the ostriches need to be destroyed, and they allege that Coburn hasn’t been taking good care of the birds. Coburn responded, “How dare they? What’s this country coming to if a man can’t keep to himself and raise 400 ostriches?” He added that he wouldn’t stand by with his head in the sand to see if IA has these birds worried sick, referencing the agency’s concerns. He also noted Thanksgiving was recently and claimed the ostriches were upset, barely touching their turkey. The discussion touched on national attention, with some famous American politicians getting involved. Robert Kennedy Jr. has asked for the birds to be studied, not killed. Dr. Oz offered to re home the birds on his Florida ranch. The exchange included light remarks about Florida and the politicians’ interventions, but the central issue remained the government’s plan to destroy the birds. The court order states that since the outbreak began, some 70 ostriches have died, and didn’t another ostrich die just last week? Coburn asserted that there are 399 healthy ostriches remaining, saying, “we still have three ninety nine healthy ostriches.” He elaborated, “That’s three ninety eight birds who have nothing wrong with them. There’s three ninety seven birds with a right to live.” He warned that if the government has their way, there won’t be three ninety six birds left. He insisted, “They wanna kill all 395 birds while I plan to save all 394 of them.” The scene conveyed Coburn’s determination to protect as many birds as possible amid the outbreak and the regulatory pressure to cull the flock. In summary, the case centers on a delayed execution of hundreds of ostriches due to avian flu, with the CFIA advocating destruction and Coburn arguing for the preservation of the majority of his flock. Political figures have weighed in on whether the birds should be studied or rehomed, while the outbreak has already claimed some birds, prompting a contentious debate over the fate of the rest.

"The world is watching, and this is one of the babies. Who is it? Carrie. I got Carrie here. I mean, they have an obligation in a civil society." "Right? We don't suffer. It's in humane once again. Absolutely." "And the reason for her injury is because of the drones flying around and distressing the noise." "Injured before the drones. She was injured during those two helicopters, broke all the rules, flying over here in the dark with articulated searchlights. That's when they started running." "They went through the fences. Not the fence." "We don't even know if any of them got out that day." "What was her signs of dehydration? Very dehydrated. Skin tender. While she's drinking." "I've been appointed as the farm vet. And so are you guys. Sorry for that."

There's a hen in there that is suffering She's dehydrated. They will not allow any of us to treat her, to tube her and give her electrolytes. Their people will only do it and they're not doing it right. They've never done it. So this hen is suffering and it's a major problem. The communication between we have an interim stay and to be able not be able to have any right and handle our animals is absolutely absolutely insane. and, let's talk about that these animals, it's not their fault. It's not anybody's fault and we definitely shouldn't be being punished, but these animals are being punished. We're being punished and, we have some hay coming in, getting police escorted in right now. Again, your taxpayer dollars hard at work.

Speaker announces intrusion with, "Open the door. They're coming in." and "Loving citizen." They describe the scene as "It's weird working here" and state, "I think they're trying to get them out in the pen, but they're feeding them." They warn, "This is a stain on Canadian history if this goes forth" and ask, "What has this country come to now?" They emphasize care, noting, "These are animals that have lived for two hundred and fifty one days without illness, have been taken care of." They add, "We've been out here since January 22, our first convoy out here." They question, "Don't you let them test the animals? Why don't you let them test the animals?" and assert, "You're not even a government organization." They close with a call: "Please share this out and make people aware of what is going on."

The speakers recount watching authorities move in at Universal Ostrich Farm and being stunned because they themselves are not Universal Ostrich Farm. Upon arrival, the state set up a camp for operational logistics—building roads and securing a safe position to enable access and logistical success—and soon after a warrant was posted on the door, which they could not access right away; it took days before they could view it. They explain the warrant as a search-and-seizure order written to the aunt and her business partner, not to the parents, and it identifies Universal Ostrich Farm’s “secondary quarantine property,” which they insist is not Universal Ostrich Farm. Because of this, they must challenge the warrant in court while watching events unfold via multiple livestreams on phones, computers, and a TV. They describe people attempting to enter and police trucks driving onto the property, conveying a sense of confusion about what was happening. When asked about jurisdiction, they clarify that the RCMP are enforcing a warrant applied for by the CFIA, and that the warrant is based on the Health of Animals Act rather than criminal wrongdoing. They say they now have the document and are reviewing it with lawyers; the CFIA issued the warrant, the RCMP enforce it, and the order could extend beyond October 22. They emphasize that the process is slow and contested, with many legal hurdles to navigate. They depict the property layout as a slivered triangular tract extending to the highway, explaining that the expansion of access and new driveways was intended to provide logistical access from the highway and local roads to avoid protesters and to facilitate routine movement, such as transporting hay bales. They acknowledge that the situation involves a tense balance between security and access, and they describe some of the equipment and measures used to control movement, including how shifts are managed and where supplies are brought in, with a side remark about roadworks and security considerations. On the timeline, they state the quarantine for the birds began in December by coordinates, not as the earlier designation, and that the “secondary quarantine property” label appeared when the seizure occurred, with an extension in September signaling a protracted dispute. They frame the Supreme Court application as the primary objective due to the urgency for the animals’ lives. They recount an incident where entry was restricted: family members could enter with ID after a checkpoint delay, while friends were barred; a Rebel News interview occurred around midday, followed by a directive instructing them to text the CFIA and to email for written permission to enter—otherwise potential arrest for protecting their animals. They note a temporary exemption allowing sleep inside, but that dogs were later banned, a change they found troubling. They describe the fence and police presence behind it as a jarring sight but emphasize the human element: the aunt and cousin are described as kind, and the speakers advocate for informing the police about the CFIA while seeking constructive dialogue. They close with a wish for the situation to resolve and a sense of uncertainty about what lies ahead, expressing hope that it will work out.

See what happens when all the police drones are flying so low. Fuck off. Go away. The police drones are flying so low. They're putting our birds through fences. You wanna talk humane? Here's our here's our girl. She just went through a fence, got stuck. She's don't know if she can get up. They're causing these animals to kill themselves. They're going through fences. They're hitting fence posts because their drones are flying solo. Do you see this? This is life. This is this is humane. These are healthy animals that are suffering

Feeding 71 rescue horses, I was interrupted by 6 to 8 DEC officers who presented a warrant for a squirrel and a raccoon. They searched my property for five hours, eventually finding Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon. I was in the process of obtaining legal ownership for Peanut as an educational animal. Taking Peanut not only affects my family but also our nonprofit, Peanut's Freedom Farm, which started because of him. I rescued Peanut seven years ago after his mother was killed. He never developed survival instincts and was attacked, leading me to let him live indoors. Peanut became famous online, gaining 3 million followers across social media, which I believe prompted the complaint. It’s shocking that such resources were used against a nonprofit animal rescue, treating us like criminals over a squirrel and a raccoon.

We are committed to fighting for our nonprofit and the animals we help. Recent events have been devastating, particularly the loss of a squirrel and a raccoon due to a government raid on our home. This raid lasted five hours and raised many questions, including why my wife’s immigration status was questioned and why cameras were involved. We are pursuing legal action and demand answers from the state, which orchestrated this situation. Our focus is on the animals we lost and those we continue to rescue. This is not about politics; it’s about seeking justice for the animals that brought joy to our lives. The state signed off on the actions that led to their deaths, and we will not let this go unanswered.

Sheila Gunn Reed reports she's headed to Edgewood BC to Universal Ostrich Farm to assist Drea Humphrey, as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is set to impose a call on 400 healthy ostriches because the birds were exposed to avian flu two hundred and fifty days ago. The birds are healthy; Canadian Food Inspection Agency refuses to test them to ensure they are healthy or sick before they kill them. And the worst part is that these are not birds fit for human consumption. They’re not birds meant for cowboy boots. These are birds used in research for diseases like avian flu and COVID nineteen. RCMP descended on the farm this morning; Drea has been sleeping on the ground in tent. I’ll swing through Calgary to pick up Starlink. If this call happens, it’s a dark day for property rights, for Canadian agriculture, for science. To help, go to savetheostriches.com.

Peanut, our beloved indoor squirrel and the cornerstone of our nonprofit animal rescue, has been euthanized along with a raccoon. This has devastated my family and our organization. Recently, 10 to 12 DEC officers raided our home with a search warrant, treating us like criminals. They interrogated my wife and searched our house for a squirrel and a raccoon. Despite Peanut being with us safely for over seven years and having no prior complaints, they took him away and killed him. Peanut was well-known on social media, helping raise awareness and funds for our sanctuary, which cares for 300 animals. We are heartbroken and confused about why this happened now.

You are expecting what the outcome is. I will. What what was need to put CFIA exactly where they need to be put in check. This organization feels that they are greater than the Supreme Court of Canada, that they are still positioning the birds and putting them in the position to be killed immediately. The Supreme Court has not decided what is happening, we are on a stay order. and yet they, I just get a phone call that they've got a whole bunch of birds herded in a little circle right in the kill pen waiting. This is, it's animal cruelty, it's anguish to the families, this is terrorism and this is such disrespect to our Canadian government of justice that this company thinks they're better than the Supreme Court of Canada now. Amen.

Let's go outside. What's happening, officer? They want you to leave. Why? It doesn't matter; they've asked you to go. We were just recording. I don't know why they said you were uninvited. They asked me to escort you out. Did they say you couldn't record? Everyone's using their phones. I can't answer any more questions, but she's looking into it.

Speaker from Universal Ostrich Farms says, "The Canadian Food Inspection Agency lied to us." They were in pens and "all we were asking to do was to humanely feed our animals while they prepare." They stressed, "We were not there to obstruct. We just wanted to feed our animals so that they got fed properly." After awaiting confirmation, they were told they could feed, then police surrounded the farm and arrested them. They describe "psychological warfare and tyranny and overreach, you name it" and say they were taken to a YRB lot, handcuffed, and separated by two plastic chairs. They were given a personal cell phone to call their lawyer and had ostrich poop on their feet. They claim, "these animals are infected," but they say "they have antibodies" and cite a firewall. They thank supporters and send a message to family.

Spirit is dead. She died and probably in extreme pain, dehydration, and suffered. Canadian Food Inspection Agency, you've been caught, and I want you to know you've been caught on camera, and this is on you. The death of that bird, our family.

Vet was not allowed to take blood, and let's go into the reason why. So the vet said that they said it doesn't matter if all of these animals remember this. If every one of these animals test negative, they're still to die. And the reason being is because of that international trade policy between the World Animal Health Organization and the World Health Organization, which takes the directives of the United Nations. Good morning, Tina. And then the the minute anybody that any animal has a positive test on a property for HPAI, avian influenza, all animals are to be destroyed to protect our

The speaker describes ongoing resistance to “their science” and the continuing conflict surrounding the issue. He states the birds are hurting each other and, right now, are on the verge of killing themselves, smashing into posts and fences, and are bloody terrified. He cites the Animal Health and Safety Act, saying its purpose is to protect the welfare of these birds in the process until they are called. He also reiterates basic care requirements, noting that the birds must be fed, watered, and cared for. The message emphasizes welfare obligations for the birds during the process amid disagreement about the science.

the rental car company that took all their keys back from them. Clearway. the other company that was supposed to do the supposed cleanup is gone. We don't know who they've got left. And we don't know who the killers will be. it's sickening that they're gonna come in here and kill these healthy animals. it's just I can't believe that our society lets things like this happen. And then it's backed up by the court. You know, the court says they can come on your farm anytime on a suspicion and kill every one of your animals. See, two people already got arrested. I think you're aware who who those two people are. I didn't get arrested because I brought the truck out. Thank god. They let us go feeding. They were arrested in the back corner where nobody is. we were starting to build some trust. we gotta get to the bottom of it until we talk to Karen and Katie. We won't know and they'll take the truck out.

I’m really upset. We came to Western North Carolina to help hurricane victims, volunteering on private land. After a day, three people arrived claiming to be in charge. They were from FEMA but didn’t reveal it. They took medical supplies and tried to control our actions, even telling us we couldn’t go on search and rescue missions. Meanwhile, the local community is struggling, with many still missing and in need. FEMA's presence has been more about taking than helping, while local volunteers and organizations are the ones truly assisting. We’re ensuring that any donations we raised go directly to those in need, not to these organizations. Just a heads up: be cautious of how government agencies operate during disasters.
