unlike ostriches,
we DO hide our heads in sand,
baking hopes and dreams.

#Gorillas can catch human colds and other illnesses. A newborn #ChineseWaterDeer is so small it can almost be held in the palm of the hand. #Ostriches can run faster than #horses, and the males can roar like #lions.

Angela Rasmussen, an avian flu virologist at the University of Saskatchewan, reviewed journalists' findings and dismissed claims the farm was engaged in any groundbreaking research. "I think calling it scientific work is quite generous. I call it a scam."

“They held a natural cure for mankind but don’t worry CFIA took that also”

No they did not. Quite the opposite in fact.
The deed is finally done. Let's all move on.

Finally, saner heads prevail and this mismanaged potential disease factory got what's coming to it. I sincerely hope this case serves as an example to any others who might be trying to become ground zero for the next Spanish Flu. Take proper care of your animals, or you lose them.

“which they raise to produce medically valuable antibodies.”

Erm no. That is what they claim without any published research to support. And a claim that was thrown out in court because they failed to provide evidence.

Does it really make sense for the #CFIA to cull the ostriches now, regardless of whether the law gives them that right?

A Houston public school district will edit out chapters "about vaccines, human growth, diversity and climate change" from science textbooks.

Good idea. That will keep vaccines from killing people, keep kids from growing too much, keep the population homogeneous, and prove that climate change is a myth.

It's a collective responsibility of both male and female #ostriches to sit on their eggs in a dump nest which consists of up to 60 eggs until they hatch which takes 42 to 46 days to hatch, and after that they both take care of chicks until adulthood.

The time I fed ~300lb ostriches. It was slightly terrifying. #ostrich #ostriches #BirdFeeding
