Farm has lost multiple court bids to save its 400 ostriches, who were ordered culled over their avian flu risk.
Mounties say they have been requested to attend an ostrich farm in British Columbia's Interior where about 400 birds have been ordered culled due to the risks of avian flu.
An RCMP statement says police support is being given to the lead agency, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), which has been granted lawful authority to execute a search warrant.
A spokesperson for Universal Ostrich Farms, Katie Pasitney, said in a video posted on Facebook that a convoy of police vehicles and waste disposal trucks rolled up Monday outside the property in Edgewood, B.C., located about 360 kilometres east of Vancouver.
