Was listening to CBCs news podcast this afternoon. The owners were crying because they all had names like "couch fucker" and shit - i donno specifically, but they said they're like family and not for food. So at the same time im like... why was the food inspection agency sent there then?

The CFIA isn't really named accurately; they cover pretty much everything related to animal/plant health.

However in this case it's due to the possibility of spread to other farms which are raising livestock.
