flag Canada’s Supreme Court may delay ruling on whether to hear appeal against cull of healthy ostriches amid avian flu concerns.

flag The Supreme Court of Canada is unlikely to rule before October 30 on whether to hear an appeal against a planned cull of hundreds of ostriches at a British Columbia farm, following the arrest of a cull opponent who crossed a quarantine line. flag The Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordered the cull in December after H5N1 avian flu was detected in two dead birds, though farm owners argue the remaining birds show no illness and should be tested. flag The court has granted a temporary stay, keeping the birds under CFIA custody. flag The case was not listed for review on October 23, delaying a decision. flag The dispute has drawn protests, prior arrests, and allegations of harassment, with the CFIA maintaining that healthy-looking birds can still spread the virus.
