A BC sanctuary faced backlash after reporting an H5N1 outbreak, euthanizing birds, and denying false claims about dead ostriches and pet culls.
A British Columbia animal sanctuary, Critteraid in Summerland, says it has faced threats and online backlash after reporting an avian flu outbreak that led to the humane euthanasia of several ducks and chickens, with three testing positive for H5N1.
The sanctuary denies claims it is being used to store dead ostriches or that the CFIA plans to cull cats or dogs on site, calling related petitions misinformation.
It continues to work with the CFIA on decontamination, with a possible return of rescued animals in about 30 days, though concerns remain.
Staff report emotional strain but also strong community support.
