*[Enwl-eng] Fashion and cosmetic companies are farming ostriches, exploiting them for profit

[ecology]

                        Ostriches are farmed for their leather, feathers, oil and meat. It's cruel and disease-spreading.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        Ostrich Farming Is Cruel and Unnecessary. Canada Must Ban This Practice Now!

                        Vladimir,



                        After an avian flu outbreak at an ostrich farm in British Columbia, the Canadian government informed the farm that it had to cull the infected ostriches — at least 400 animals in total. But it wasn't the innocent ostriches' fault that humans had crammed them in farmed conditions where diseases run rampant!

                        Ostriches are farmed throughout North America for their meat, feathers, leather, and natural oils. These elements are all extracted from their bodies for use in kitchens, the fashion industry, and by cosmetics companies. Why are we still cruelly farming and exploiting animals when there are so many alternative, non-animal based products we could use instead?

                        The more we keep avian animals captive, the more zoonotic diseases will continue to spread. And as a result, the more farmers and legislators will be forced to make incredibly difficult decisions about which animals to cull and how to protect others from the spread of devastating diseases like avian flu. We have to keep both animals and humans safe from this horrible cycle!

                        The only way to actually address this problem is to end the outdated and awful practice of ostrich farming for good. Sign the petition now if you agree!


                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,

                        Celeste

                        P.S. Canadians and Americans alike protested the ordered killing and, luckily, a top Canadian court has temporarily halted the culling. But the root of the problem remains: ostrich farming should not be legal in Canada. Sign the petition.
