An arrest mid-interview as feds order culling of nearly 400 birds at BC ostrich farm

A farm in BC has found itself in the spotlight, after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordered that it’s entire herd of nearly 400 ostriches be culled, a measure officials say is necessary, to prevent the spread of avian flu.

This story has been in the headlines for months but Tuesday it reached a head.

Earlier this week, officials honed in on the Universal Ostrich Farm, intent on carrying out the cull.

CHCH tried to speak with the woman in charge of these birds and hear her side of the story, but in the middle of our interview she was arrested.
