The owners of nearly 400 ostriches on a British Columbia farm are hoping the federal Minister of Agriculture will step in and save the birds from an execution order after reviewing fresh evidence of the ostriches’ good health. 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.
