The Supreme Court of Canada grants stay on ostrich cull, farm's lawyer says

The Supreme Court of Canada has granted a last-minute stay over the destruction of a flock of ostriches until the court mulls an application for leave to appeal. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has been on the farm in northeastern B.C. for days preparing for the cull of nearly 400 birds. The high court's document, supplied by the farm's lawyer Umar Sheikh, says the order stays the enforcement of the CFIA's ``stamping-out policy'' until the application for leave to appeal is dismissed or, if leave to appeal is granted, until the case is disposed of.
