As the Supreme Court of Canada considers whether to hear the case of a B.C. farm that's fighting to save its ostriches from a CFIA cull, politicians in Ottawa appear to be choosing their words on the matter very carefully.
Avian flu doesn’t have 100% mortality, birds survive it all the time these ostriches aren’t that special medically or scientifically, just lucky.
We don’t quarantine people forever because they are people, not animals.
There is also president to set, because if they get an exception every farm down the road will ignore avian flu outbreaks because it might mean 40% of their flock can survive instead of all of the flock being killed and then tie up the courts forever fighting dozens of farms in court instead of just one.
