| Please join us to save 400 HEALTHY ostriches in Edgewood They were scheduled to be slaughtered by the CANADIAN FOOD INSPECTION AGENCY on the first of February.  |
| An injunction was granted by the courts to delay this for 30 days.This issue is currently before the courts. Public visibility and pressure is needed to ensure a court decision that is favorable to these beautiful creatures. CFIA refuses to test them. This message is short and to the point. It is not possible to review all of the information available.Please go to this web page for more complete details clearbc.org/sooTHIS IS THE PLAN. The CFIA has an office in Kelowna and Vernon – see posters below.We want to have several people outside of these offices at opening time Monday morning, with coverage to the end of the day – this means 8am to 4pm – until this issue is resolved. Please attend as you are able – even a random half an hour is helpful.We are not looking for a major extended commitment. Everyone’s time is precious – contribute what you can. |
