Law enforcement has descended on Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, BC ahead of the government-ordered cull of their flock.Nearly 400 birds have been sentenced to death by Ottawa following a months-long legal battle between the farm and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency..Footage from the scene posted to Facebook by Thundra Amo Kerr shows a number of RCMP officers from various units walking onto the farm as a crowd of the farm's supporters watch on.Whether the cull is imminent has not been revealed..Earlier Monday morning, a man wearing all black was caught on video running up the road with a jerry can as a female neighbour yelled at him. It was not clear whether the can was full, or what his intentions were..Katie Pasitney, spokeswoman for the farm and daughter of co-owner Karen Espersen, addressed the incident in a Facebook video."We've had an Edgewood hate group that's been pretty pretty mean," she explained. "There's been a staged incident that they tried to pin on our farm and make it look like we did it when I was saying we do not condone violence."Pasitney shamed the perpetrators, and reminded everyone that she and her family are "humble and hard-working farmers that are trying to do the right thing.".A maintenance worker named Tim was arrested after claiming to be the man in black, but according to Rebel News' Drea Humphrey, the farmers and supporters "don't believe it was him and suggest he may have taken the fall for someone else."
