Taking control of farmers.
The heartless culling is one example.
Consider the latest news of a farm in British Columbia of all their 330 ostriches shot dead, they were healthy, it was all on a suspicion of possible disease, not evidence.
The following was written by Holly a small farm owner in Canada:
"?m sure many of you have heard about the recent mass culling of ostriches in Edgewood, BC. If not, I encourage you to learn more about what has taken place by reviewing sources such as Save Our Ostriches, Rebel News, Dacey Media, and The Rude Awakening Tour on multiple platforms- see below. Don't listen to mainstream media.
As a small-scale farmer, I find this situation deeply concerning ? not only for the immediate impact on those affected farms, but for what it represents for all Canadian farmers and citizens.
"Our own farm operates under strict compliance with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) through our On-Farm Slaughter License (OFSO), Premises ID (PID#), and participation in the LOOP program.
"This means we already report animal counts, slaughter numbers, food and medicine purchases, and even information about food diverted from grocery stores for feed. While oversight can be important,
the increasing level of control and surveillance over small farms feels excessive."This issue extends far beyond avian flu or the ostriches. It speaks to a broader problem of government overreach and
the erosion of agricultural autonomy and livelihoods.
"The ?stamping out? policy ? which involves
mass culling based on suspicion or limited testing ? has devastated families , sometimes even when subsequent results prove negative. Many farmers have lost entire herds and livelihoods without due process or fair compensation. They come in and seize property, take over your animals and cull everything.
"Meanwhile, little is being done to address the root causes, such as the spread of disease through migratory birds ? an issue beyond farmers? control. The current approach does not serve the long-term sustainability of Canadian food security or the well-being of our rural communities.
I believe we as Canadians must re-examine these policies and demand accountability, transparency, and respect for those who feed our nation. Small farmers are essential to local food systems and community resilience. We deserve to be heard and protected, not targeted.
"They are slowly taking control of our cities (15 min cities) and rural communities, they are causing food shortages through the stamping out policies, they are monitoring our farms and trying to limit how much we can slaughter per year, they are getting people in some provinces to register their gardens so they can grow their own vegetables, they are poisoning our food with chemicals, dyes and seed oils.
"As Canadians, we must remain vigilant about policies that undermine our ability to grow, raise, and access real food. The future of our food sovereignty depends on it.
WE as Canadians need to take this unforgettable moment in history as an opportunity. We as farmers and Canadians need to stand up.
Katie Pasitney Karen Greba Espersen your family and Dave, my deepest heartfelt condolences to you all. My heart has been shattered and I wish I could give you each a hug. We treat our farm animals like pets and though they are raised for food and I cry each time we say goodbye I cannot even imagine the pain, suffering and anger you are experiencing. I am so sorry this happened to you
Jeff Gaudry Jim Kerr Thundra Amo Kerr Blake Roberts you have been amazing at keeping the public in the know and exposing what was happening each day. Thank you.
