I retired 3 years ago after 50 years as a small animal clinician. Veterinary Medicine is still a "self-regulating" profession that is governed by The Veterinary Act here in BC. There are defined standards of practice and quality of care as well as professional conduct in both private and practice life that must be met and if a complaint is made against a practitioner to the College of Veterinarians of BC, an investigation is carried out and adjudicated by members of a Complaints Committee, a judgement made along with/without a recommended penalty. The outcome is posted for anyone to see, public included. Some government vets that work in the agricultural field are involved as "practitioners of veterinary medicine" (i.e. the practice of veterinary medicine is defined as the act of diagnosing and treating animal conditions/diseases)...for which one requires a license, one issued by the College, to be permitted to practice veterinary medicine within a designated province. In my field of small animal medicine and also in agricultural (large animal) veterinary medicine, practitioners are governed by the Veterinary Act but I don't know if CFIA vets are required to hold a license to practice i.e. make diagnoses and decisions regarding animal health...I'm pretty sure they are registered members of the College but I'm unsure if they are beholden to it's statutes and regulations. Since they diagnose agricultural animal diseases and suggest/mandate "treatments" they are, in my mind, practitioners of veterinary medicine and so should be licensed I believe.

In my field and in large animal/equine medicine, there are diagnostic procedures we all learn to utilize and the most important of all those procedures is a detailed history and a thorough physical examination. If these are not done, one is not practicing veterinary medicine. These two beginning steps, history and physical examination, set the stage for everything that follows...they are the foundation of western clinical medical practice for any species of animal including humans. From information gleaned in the history/physical examination(s) the practitioner makes a diagnostic plan, which may also include preliminary clinical tests, that will support or rule out suspected causes of the described and observed symptoms . Depending on the results of any preliminary tests and whether symptoms are progressing or regressing, more specifically focused tests may or may not be indicated to reach a definitive diagnosis.

As I was becoming familiar with the background information regarding this situation at Universal Ostriches, I was immediately struck by the incredible lack of diagnostic competence and complete disregard and disinterest for the birds and for the owners of the farm. As far as I can tell, no actual history was requested by CFIA agents (was a DVM in attendance or only lab techs, vet techs, non-techs?). And I don't believe a physical exam was done on any of the birds, dead or otherwise, nor, as I understand, were the birds environments or feeds or water considered, examined nor tested. This is not credible veterinary medicine. Isn't the reason the CFIA has graduate veterinarians on staff, to bring a certain level of medical expertise to the science of animal health? Well, the veterinarian(s) in charge of this ostrich operation failed in every way to correctly diagnose whatever condition caused some deaths among these birds. The clinical diagnosis and the order to kill the entire flock of well-birds was made on one piece of inaccurate information from a not-for-clinical diagnostic-use instrument (PCR is not a clinical test). The fact that a so called "bird flu virus" has never been demonstrated to exist in nature begs the question as to how any "test" could diagnose it anyway. So if this whole matter is looked at as a quality of medical practice issue only, in my opinion, it is professional incompetence to the level of malpractice. If government vets who are practicing veterinary medicine can not be held to the standards of practice all other veterinary practitioners are governed by, why aren't they?

In my area of veterinary medicine such conduct and such shoddy and irresponsible diagnostic ability might be called negligent malpractice which might be accompanied by stiff penalties and temporary loss of license with requirements for specific continuing education before the member could return to practice. Are gov't vets shielded from such accountability just as vaccine manufacturers are shielded from liabilities arising from adverse reactions to their products? Just a thought...

I consider it gross professional negligence and cruelty to jump to the drastic conclusion of destroying this population of birds. There is no intelligible reason to do so. There is no credible diagnosis, the birds are all well, it is the veterinary incompetency that needs addressing. All of it is beyond reproach. My best wishes for a successful outcome, Richard

Very good summation but how to explain it to the regular pleb? Tell them that everything around us is electric and they are using that to destroy humanity and by culling do you wonder why? I think the birds have their own electric system above all the chemicals they survived millions of years so why not now? What’s really in the eggs? Eggs? Milk? Why don’t they want us to be natural? Well that’s what we have to figure out as humans what frequency is love? Peace? I watched the documentary on Dr. Rife and what he found was unbelievable and hidden from us, I believe this is the missing link that they are taking us away from everything natural, everything now smells electric, I miss the smell of the rain natural rain, I miss the natural sun on my face the heat it generated on my skin, I miss the bumble bees the butterflies the worms, everything. Even this note from Richard Calland I didn’t see because of alga rhythms and even now I noticed you can no longer have the option to see what you previously read, this is how I kept track of my articles that I was interested in in, I’m sure there’s an easier way to run everything instead of alga rhythms we need to use our brains more than ever now. I don’t have much of a memory now because I took the poison jabs, you see I have been asleep for a long time I actually thought our government was good and we had democracy hell I grew up in Ottawa what a hoot hey! I only woke up because of the convoy I didn’t even know there was one! Had I known I would have been driving there myself, I guess someone sent me the wrong alga rhythm on tik tok by mistake, since then I have been doing nothing but investigating everything and here I am discovering biodigital convergence, nano tech, frequencies, I sure have learned a lot about our world, our lost history, the lies about the wars, it has been very eye opening. How to explain it all without sounding nuts? Videos? Nobody in my family comments about anything I send them but if I could explain it to them? Any ideas out there?
