From the farm to the streets, protesters took their demands to Vernon Saturday to save hundreds of ostrich from slaughter.
There is a growing flock of those supporting Edgewood's Universal Ostrich Farm's fight to save the herd of nearly 400 birds.
Some turned out with signs and even some odd-looking ostrich of their own in Vernon March 15.
They protested in front of the local Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) office, and adjacent to it along Highway 97 in Vernon.
"The support is incredible," said Katie Pasitney, spokesperson for the farm which her mother co-owns.
The birds were supposed to be killed Feb.
