Rebel News confirms hundreds of ostriches dead following government cull order
November 7, 2025
Exclusive footage obtained by Rebel News shows the aftermath of the Canadian government’s ostrich cull in British Columbia — hundreds of birds now confirmed dead.
Video captured by Rebel News reporters shows what appear to be hundreds of ostriches lying lifeless in a “kill pen” built by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Witnesses report that government workers executed the birds by gunfire before covering their bodies with tarps.
The ostriches were part of a healthy flock used in groundbreaking avian flu antibody research, yet the CFIA ordered their slaughter without conducting updated tests to confirm infection. The animals had reportedly recovered from illness nearly a year ago.
Farmers and Canadians alike are demanding accountability for what they call a senseless, inhumane and unscientific cull. The incident has reignited national outrage over government overreach, scientific censorship, and the erosion of property rights. ~Read More

What would you do if, after thirty years of raising and caring for animals on your farm, the government suddenly showed up and ordered you to slaughter them?
This is the heartbreaking reality for the farmers of Universal Ostrich Farms, located in the remote town of Edgewood, British Columbia. For over three decades, Karen Espersen and Dave Bilinski have devoted their lives to raising up to 500 ostriches on their farm, which is known for its groundbreaking research on the robust immune systems of these remarkable creatures.

The Reason These Birds Were Murdered!? (From 2021)
BC ostrich farm developing antibodies that could put an end to the coronavirus
The biggest birds on the planet could be the key to ending the coronavirus, including the Delta variant which is causing much concern.
And a BC ostrich farm is on the cutting edge of making that happen.
Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood gained public attention when the owners refused to evacuate in the face of the Michaud Creek wildfire last month.
Not only did they stay, but the farm became a refuge for numerous other livestock that people dropped off as they left the area.
The farm is no longer in danger and now Karen Espersen and Dave Bilinski can go back to working on saving the world from a nasty little virus.
It turns out ostriches have a strong immune system and when exposed to COVID-19 they quickly create antibodies.
“Working with a lab back east, we inoculated our hens with the dead COVID-19 virus. The hen produces antibodies in two weeks and two weeks after that she puts them into her eggs,” said Espersen, adding that is one of the reasons they were so hesitant to abandon their 500 birds.
“This is a very natural process and last year we were able to block 99.9 per cent of the coronavirus if it was infused in a face mask.”
For various reasons the face mask was never mass produced, but a different company began testing and they discovered the birds could be the key to neutralizing COVID-19 completely.
“We were so excited about being able to help the world we dedicated all of our laying hens on the farm to this program,” said Espersen, adding ostriches can produce an egg every two days for several months in a row.
“We inoculated all of our hens and this summer they have been producing antibodies that can neutralize the COVID-19 virus.”
Bilinski said the antibodies are extracted from the egg yolks with a single ostrich egg being equivalent to 24 chicken eggs.
“This last week, we got word from the lab the antibodies are neutralizing the Delta (variant),” said Bilinski.
Espersen said they are now taking the next step and are working with a company out of Vancouver to create a nasal spray that could be administered to anyone with COVID.
“Maybe it can be something everyone can hold in their pocket, or keep in their medicine cabinet and if they got the coronavirus, they would be able to take this,” she said.
“This is going to be a game changer,” added Bilinski.
In a report published last year by a company called Biospace, Dr. Yasuhiro Tsukamoto, Dean of the Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences at Kyoto Prefectural University and Co-CEO of Ostrich Pharma USA, said “We have produced ostrich antibodies to many viruses, bacteria, and allergens, but we were pleased to see how quickly the ostriches developed immunity and placed the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in their eggs. We were even more pleased to see how capable the antibodies were in blocking the virus that causes COVID-19.”
Ten ostriches were vaccinated, and the antibodies from their eggs have already been used in masks, nasal drops and candies in Japan.
The Rinku Medical Clinic, a cancer hospital in Osaka, Japan, has begun a clinical trial on the use of ostrich antibody nasal drops to prevent hospital-acquired coronavirus infection. If a patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 is present, a doctor will spray the antibody solution into the nasal cavity of hospitalized patients, close contacts, and healthcare professionals.
