Ostrich Hostage Sausage

After months of legal battles, the ostriches are dead.

RFK Jr, Dr Oz, Rebel Media, and a motley crew of protestors rallied to save a flock of B.C. ostriches who had contracted avian flu and were subsequently ordered to be culled.

What can the story of the ostriches tell us about the loss of public trust, the knock-on effects of COVID, and the horseshoe theory of politics?
