As I was saying…

Devaluing human worth by having a Republican billionaire donor call the ostrich cull a right to life issue is a huge red flag for where it could go. This sort of dehumanization has historical precedent.
 
Chains are binding elements ...

Imagine the connections as mostly abstract and mys*Tae! Considering all that we don't know for sure is also indeterminate!
 
Honestly, I didn't read enough to understand beyond the basics. It seems to be Rita baiting you and trying to tie the ostrich situation to MAiD to manipulate you, but you didn't exactly sign on like she wanted you to so you're arguing. About exactly what, I really have no clue. Rita lives to destabilize online communities with her conspiracy theories and other terrible takes so no one really pays her much attention.
 
There are different funds the farmers can apply for to help cover their losses. Though asking CFIA might be awkward at the moment.

AI Overview



Yes, Canadian farmers can receive
funding and compensation for livestock lost to certain diseases or viruses through several federal and provincial programs. The primary mechanism for this is through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the federal-provincial-territorial Business Risk Management (BRM) programs.

Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) Compensation
The CFIA is authorized under the Health of Animals Act to order the destruction of animals infected with or exposed to certain contagious, reportable diseases to prevent the spread of the virus. In such cases, the farmer is eligible for compensation, which includes:
  • The market value of the animals ordered destroyed, up to a maximum amount stipulated in the Compensation for Destroyed Animals and Things Regulations (CDATR). For example, recent amendments increased the maximums for registered cattle to $16,500 and non-registered cattle to $10,000 to reflect current market value.
  • Costs related to the disposal of the animals.
  • Compensation for personal labour or third-party services used in carrying out the destruction orders.
  • Compensation for other things ordered destroyed, such as contaminated feed or equipment, when cleaning and disinfection is not possible.

Business Risk Management (BRM) Programs
Beyond the CFIA compensation, a suite of federal-provincial-territorial BRM programs helps producers manage significant risks, including disease outbreaks:
  • AgriStability: This whole-farm, margin-based program helps producers when they face large declines in farming income caused by various factors, including production losses.
  • AgriInsurance: This program is designed to help producers manage production and quality losses due to eligible perils, including severe losses from diseases.
  • AgriRecovery: This is a disaster relief framework that provides targeted financial assistance for extraordinary costs not covered by the core BRM programs when a natural disaster (which can include a disease outbreak in certain cases) strikes. When an AgriRecovery initiative is triggered, the federal and provincial governments jointly design specific initiatives (e.g., the PEI program for PED virus).

Other Provincial Initiatives
Some provinces have also developed their own specific programs or enhanced existing ones to address the unique needs of their farmers in response to disease outbreaks (e.g., the B.C. Farmed Animal Disease Program).
Producers are encouraged to participate in these programs and contact their local Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada office or provincial/territorial agriculture ministry office for specific details and application processes.
 
One thing I agree with WhyCzar about is that I think the way the ostriches were killed with guns was wrong. Maybe it should’ve been done the way the farmers used to do to get their product, before some of the birds got sick - more humanely. I think much of the rest of it is misleading - it’s not about what they think it is.

There is an International standard set by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) which applies to most countries, including Canada. There are International standards which apply to H5N1 culling and is based on the WOAH animal health code which includes a "stamping out policy"which is the standard for containing outbreaks (69 ostriches had already died from H5H1 in BC); Humane disposal which calls for birds infected, suspected of being infected or exposed to the virus are to be destroyed; Control measures include disposal of carcasses, manure and contaminated materials as well well as a thorough cleaning and disinfection of the premises to prevent virus transmission.
Wild birds are not included in this as this is considered ineffective and inefficient for wild populations. This only applies to domestic birds.
So this would be the international standards that Canada and other countries have to abide by. This has included numerous cullings in the United States, Asia, Europe, ( United Kingdom, Spain, Greece),Africa and South America.
This is more than likely to protect international and domestic trade from spreading.... amongst other things.
 
Yeah, well they’ve made WHO into the bad guy too, for any policy.

Oops I read your post wrong - that was a bit dyslexic of me (WHO?…WOAH!) lol

Basically any entity with regulations to protect the greater good is automatically seen as evil to a contingent of people. I understand skepticism and oversight of organizations. But it’s common sense to contain the spread.

Emotional input may cause scattering of rational thought ... often directed by powers for obvious advantages especially family benefit. Is that nebulous or some other word? The resultant spin often enters the head space ... coming back time and time again as: "nothing can go wrong, nothing can go wrong"!

Definitely some instable psyche event ... a common ailment ... aliment! An element in the chaos ... excessively consumed!

Sometimes referred to as addiction ... so don't swallow the entire thing ... there may be a trick involved ... later it may come up again!
