Someone offering up information that tends to support their interests isn't the time to flip the Skeptical/Believing switch to the second setting.

Actually the closest living relative to T Rex is.....the chicken. And if you want a truly murderous bird try the Cassowary bird.
They are true assholes and will kill humans.

Shocking, just shocking....not. 
The ostrich con: Arguments to save birds from cull in B.C. were based on falsehoods, evidence shows (<---link)
What if the key to preventing the next global pandemic was discovered on an ostrich farm in a remote town in British Columbia, but the federal government ordered all its birds dead?
That was the message that made national and international headlines last year when Universal Ostrich Farms launched a 10-month legal battle and social media campaign to stop a government-ordered cull in response to an avian flu outbreak on the farm.
The plight of nearly 400 ostriches in Edgewood, a tiny town 185 kilometres east of Kelowna, garnered support from anti-government protesters, animal rights activists, Canadian politicians and even high-level officials in the Trump administration.
However, a months-long fifth estate investigation reveals the campaign by Universal Ostrich Farms to save its ostriches was built on a foundation of exaggerated and false claims about their birds, business and scientific findings.

Ironically, although they presented the birds as valued pets, all the birds were farmed for the meat market anyways.
That would be roughly equivalent to protecting your avian flu riddled battery hen farm from being culled because you 'loved them all so much'.
