From the London Mail [caution, tabloid]:
The owner of a Canadian ostrich farm has claimed that the government killed 314 birds to bury life-saving medical research, not to stop bird flu. Katie Pasitney, who co-owns Universal Ostrich Farms in British Columbia with her mother Karen Espersen, told the Daily Mail that officials used avian flu as a pretext to destroy their flock, which she said was healthy when it was killed Thursday night.
According to Pasitney, the farm was developing antibody treatments from ostrich egg yolks that showed promise against major viruses, including COVID-19 and H1N1. The antibodies, produced naturally by the giant birds, had reportedly been proven in labs to neutralize 99.9 percent of coronavirus particles and were being developed into nasal sprays and face masks.
