Overview

• Mounties said they are supporting the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which has lawful authority to execute a search warrant at Universal Ostrich Farm.
• A live video from a farm spokeswoman showed a convoy of police vehicles and waste disposal trucks heading toward the Edgewood property.
• The CFIA ordered the destruction of about 400 birds after a December avian flu outbreak that previously killed 69 ostriches, and the agency has not disclosed timing.
• The Federal Court and Federal Court of Appeal rejected efforts to pause the cull, and the farm has until Oct. 3 to seek leave to the Supreme Court of Canada.
• U.S. commentator Chris Sanders offered ranch space and trucking to move the ostriches to Oklahoma, Texas and South Dakota, and the farm says it is exploring relocation.
