FARM ANIMAL WELFARE
A Nov. 14 article in the National Post titled 'Jamie Sarkonak: It's not just the ostriches. Cattle farmers rail against CFIA incompetence' - states "It’s not just the ostriches. Farmers of all sorts of animals are doubting the competency of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Cattle, elk and poultry farmers have all raised concerns with government-ordered cull operations." The article concludes that "After watching the nearly year-long ostrich saga, which saw one bird die a slow death in CFIA custody and the rest shot one by one in a paddock (no doubt spending their last hours running around terrified), and no actual efforts to test or research the birds for a virus they may have beaten, I’m certainly questioning the agency’s credibility. A closer look at farmer complaints from different parts of the animal kingdom shows that I’m not alone."
Tragic that so many animals are needlessly killed, and the farmers trying to protect their animals are prevented financially from farming again...... We are unable to share the link to the article, so are including one to Animal Justice's article stating that "thousands of pages of government documents reveal a brutal and sloppy mass killing operation" for Avian Flu......💔
Thousands of pages of government documents reveal a brutal and sloppy mass killing operation.
