Ostrich Farming Is Cruel and
Unnecessary. Canada Must Ban This Practice
Now! | | |
Vladimir,
After an avian
flu outbreak at an ostrich farm in British Columbia, the
Canadian government informed the farm that it had to
cull the infected ostriches — at least 400 animals in
total. But it wasn't the innocent
ostriches' fault that humans had crammed them in farmed
conditions where diseases run
rampant!
Ostriches are farmed throughout
North America for their meat, feathers, leather, and
natural oils. These elements are all extracted from
their bodies for use in kitchens, the fashion industry,
and by cosmetics companies. Why are we still cruelly
farming and exploiting animals when there are so many
alternative, non-animal based products we could use
instead?
The more we keep avian animals
captive, the more zoonotic diseases will continue to
spread. And as a result, the more farmers and
legislators will be forced to make incredibly difficult
decisions about which animals to cull and how to protect
others from the spread of devastating diseases like
avian flu. We have to keep both animals and humans
safe from this horrible cycle!
The only way to actually
address this problem is to end the outdated and awful
practice of ostrich farming for good. Sign the petition
now if you agree!

P.S. Canadians
and Americans alike protested the ordered killing and,
luckily, a top Canadian court has temporarily halted the
culling. But the root of the problem remains: ostrich
farming should not be legal in Canada. Sign the
petition. |
