RFK Jr. Begs Canada to Pardon 400 Ostriches So That We Can ‘Understand’ Them
The birds could provide important scientific insights, according to Kennedy.


OTTAWA — The fate of nearly 400 Canadian ostriches, which Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is trying to save, now rests with federal justices in Ottawa.

As the controversial case makes its way through court, members of U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, right-wing influencers and a Republican megadonor are urging the Liberal government to spare the ostriches that were exposed to bird flu.

“The Secretary has urged Canada not to kill the ostriches but to do further testing to try to better understand the virus,” a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services told POLITICO.

MAGA supporters and Canada’s "Freedom Convoy" — which blockaded Ottawa for weeks over Covid-19 measures — have coalesced around the cause, which they say is an example of government overreach, an erosion of institutional trust, and outdated policies.

In May, Kennedy advised Canadian officials that “significant scientific knowledge may be garnered from following the ostriches in a controlled environment.”

Mehmet Oz, Trump’s administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, even offered to house the birds at his Florida ranch. Billionaire John Catsimatidis, an active member of the “save the ostriches” campaign, has argued they ​​have life-saving antibodies.

Let me get this straight... it's a MAGA, Trump thing to want to save infected ostriches to study the affect of the virus?

Hmmm... I don't see any reason why this is bad. These ostriches will be invaluable to study the virus... since they have contracted the virus naturally instead of scientists injecting virus into animal to study them. But I know how the Lefties/Demmies think... they preferred jab to healthy animal/people to study the affect of viruses.
