Raising the bridge would allow larger,…

This John Catsimatidis guy can just F right off. If he cared so much about the birds he could have sent trucks to have them taken away... of course.. good luck with US Border agents letting birds in that have been exposed to Avian Flu and have an active CFIA cull order on them.
I feel bad for the people who feel so connected to the birds themselves. Some people simply won't understand and I feel sympathy for them. But the owners of the ranch have always known better and they have used this to raise money and increase their profile.
And now we get the crocodile tears as the adults have finally taken over.
I hope this is the last we ever hear about Universal Ostrich.

I've been using Broadcom/VMware ESXI 8 U3 on a Gen 15 Intel Ultra 9 powered box.
Gack, you would think that a giant company like Broadcom/VMware would keep its software up to date.
But no. One has to jump through special configuration hoops (not documented except by third parties) to even get ESXI loaded.
And then if one wants to use USB-4/Thunderbolt based network interface devices one has to find and install a "FLING" patch.
It seems to me that Broadc…

Happy to see resolution for this case of anti-health, anti-vax, quackery and grifting.
I believe most farmers are ethical and understand that disease within their flocks and herds can and do cause disease in other domestic and wild populations and those diseases are often what causes pandemics in humans.
Avian flu is a danger. Millions of birds have died because of it, and have been culled on other farms to try to control it.
Ostriches are no different.
