On September 22, 2025 I did a story called, "Who defends these Birds ? Healthy Ostriches to Be Killed in Canada". People answered my question, these people are Natives to British Columbia soil within the syilx Okanagan traditional territory.
The owner of the Universal Ostrich Farm, a research farm in British Columbia is currently being protected by tribal member that they met on Tuesday evening. The syilx representatives are making the decision over the land, which is within the syilx Okanagan traditional territory. The syilx have declared the property on unceded land and have ordered a cease and desist to protect the animals and land, which are now under syilx protection not the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
They will protect the Universal Ostrich Farm and prevent the cull. "Each day we're going to take each miracle we have, until these animals are saved, and the world can have a celebration," said Katie Pasitney on September 24, 2025. These are step by step miracles happening at the farm despite the 24 hour security cameras being cut off and the 400 ostriches are now under the custody of the Canadian Food Inspection. In the past 24 hours these birds have been around a mysterious fire that took place last evening. With the owners being prohibited to enter their home. It is just matters of hours or days that Katie Pasitney will be able to fight her battle in the Supreme Court of Canada to keep these birds alive. That is if they are granted. It is possible that the Natives to this territory may have to battle their lands with Canada??
Secwépemc Nation has stepped up to protect the Universal Ostrich Farm and prevent the cull. "Each day we're going to take each miracle we have, until these animals are saved, and the world can have a celebration," said Katie Pasitney to @DreaHumphrey.

Only Karen and Katie have been ordered to stay out of the ostrich pens, the least they can do is allow Dave in to feed them. pic.twitter.com/5n9gTrmyWR
