B.C. ostrich farm files lawsuit demanding compensation for 37 birds 'missing' after 2025 cull

Universal Ostrich Farms in British Columbia is suing the federal government over a 2025 cull that left 37 birds unaccounted for, claiming the action was cruel and inadequately compensated. The farm argues this cull hindered their plans for a profitable business venture.
