Ostriches, Orcas, and Overwintering Pollinators
It’s all about the animals in British Columbia! This is VANCOLOUR host Mo Amir asks Kyla Lee (Acumen Law) to break down the legal drama behind the international story of the Edgewood, B.C. ostrich cull. What legal authority gave the government the right to kill over 300 ostriches? What rights do British Columbians actually have to protect their animals? Then, Dr. Martin Haulena, Director of Animal Health at the Vancouver Aquarium, explains why most marine mammals in coastal B.C. waters are thriving while the beloved southern resident killer whales continue to decline in population. Finally, legendary broadcaster and prolific gardener Tamara Taggart “spills the tea” on how one lazy act can help overwintering pollinators like bees and butterflies.
