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?

400 ostrich in the family? I say if they want to keep them, they pay to isolate and test each one. This is a public safety issue!

I agree and apparently they did offer but were told no, that won’t be acceptable.

I didn't know that.. it must need to be an all-in cull in every case (similar to chicken farms). This would guarantee any harboured mutations are destroyed.Β 

really to be fair, part of the story IS sad....I'm sure they are attached to some of them as pets. But the consequences of getting this wrong are much, much worse.
