About this episode

After nearly a year of protests, court fights, and a sprawling online campaign, in November, more than 300 ostriches in the tiny community of Edgewood, B.C. were culled to stop the spread of avian flu.

The Fifth Estate’s co-host Mark Kelley brings us the story of “The Ostrich Con.”
