RCMP officials reported a fatality at an ostrich farm in British Columbia amid ongoing protests against a planned cull, although authorities have indicated no suspicion of foul play. The man was discovered unresponsive by a police liaison team on Monday at the Universal Ostrich Farms protest camp in Edgewood, B.C., prompting a response from the Nakusp RCMP for what was termed a “sudden death” incident. Despite immediate resuscitation efforts by officers until the arrival of paramedics, the individual could not be revived despite extensive attempts. The deceased has been identified, but efforts to notify next of kin have been unsuccessful thus far, with Nakusp RCMP collaborating with the B.C. Coroner’s Service on the investigation. Social media tributes poured in for the man from supporters of the protest movement, noting his long-standing presence at the camp. The Supreme Court of Canada is slated to make a decision on Thursday regarding the farmers’ final appeal against the cull mandated by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency following an avian flu outbreak in the flock containing hundreds of birds.
