Umar Sheikh, a lawyer for Universal Ostrich Farms, said he planned to send a package of evidence Sunday night to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald in a bid for ministerial reconsideration, one of the last remaining avenues to preserve a doomed flock whose fate has become an international cause célèbre.
