Edgewood’s Universal Ostrich Farm has delayed the execution of its flock of 400 with a Federal Court of Appeal ruling that buys time in its fight against a cull ordered by the Canadian Inspection Agency.
The farm has been fighting the cull since January after an avian flu outbreak was declared there in December 2024.
The farm lost its appeal to stop the cull in August but last week its lawyer filed for another stay as it seeks a hearing at the Supreme Court of Canada.
The Federal Court of Appeal granted the interim stay in a decision handed down Sept. 6.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has until Tuesday to respond to the motion, and the farm has until Wednesday to file a reply.
