As we learned during Covid, diseases are not as scary as the heavy-handed reactions to them by authorities who indulge in hysteria:

Lethal injection to the skull.

That’s the likely method of execution awaiting hundreds of seemingly healthy ostriches in Canada. Although shooting, neck-breaking, and gassing are also on the table.

The Supreme Court of Canada on Thursday dismissed an appeal from Universal Ostrich Farms, clearing the way for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to proceed with the slaughter of hundreds of ostriches following an alleged outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza detected in December 2024.

The CFIA and Royal Canadian Mounted Police seized control of the ostrich farm, where the birds have remained healthy for nearly a year. Bureauweenies are still trying to figure out how many of them they want to kill.

Under a Supreme Court order granting the CFIA “custody” of the animals, the farmers were also prohibited from feeding or caring for them. …

In the weeks since, the farm has released videos purporting to show CFIA inspectors neglecting or mistreating the ostriches in violation of that court stay — evidence the owners said they hoped would justify removing the agency from the property.

In response, the CFIA issued a statement threatening the farm owners with criminal prosecution if they obstruct inspectors.

It isn’t only ostrich farmers who are well advised not to stick their heads in the sand regarding the threat Big Government run amok poses to animals. On USA’s Left Coast, 500,000 owls are slated to be killed. During Covid hysteria, the moonbats running Britain floated the idea of killing every cat in the country.
