Karen Espersen, co-owner of Universal Ostrich Farm and mother of Katie Pasitney, gives testimony about the CFIA response to suspected avian influenza on their farm. She describes the farm’s long-term ostrich breeding and antibody research work, challenges the scientific and procedural basis for the cull, explains how court proceedings were limited by judicial review rules, and recounts the lack of recourse she says the family faced through regulators, police, courts, and political channels.
