Summary
"Senior officials in the Trump administration attempted to save 300 ostriches on a British Columbia farm, citing avian flu fears, despite the Canadian government ordering their culling after an anonymous tip suggested some were dying. The farm owners sued, arguing 69 birds died but others remained healthy. Karen Espenser welcomed external support to reverse the order, while the situation highlights Canada's struggles with a three-year-old bird flu outbreak and its impact on the U.S., where egg prices have risen due to culling and supply challenges."
