Donald Trump‘s administration has taken a peculiar stand: Advocating for the salvation of Canadian ostriches.
According to The New York Times, the Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, British Columbia, faces a government-mandated cull after two birds tested positive for H5N1 avian flu last December. Despite the farm’s assertion that the outbreak has subsided and the majority of the 400 ostriches remain healthy, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) insists on culling the entire flock to prevent potential mutations and transmission risks.
