What exactly were those issues again? I was under the impression it was simply an abundance of caution to stop the spread of avian flu?

The stamping out policy is a major factor for the cull. The issues on the farm from what I remember were:

  • No quarantine zones for sick animals.
  • The Ostriches had access to shared resources with numerous wild animals like water sources.
  • The people on the farm were not wearing the proper protective gear when handling the animals.
  • The animals were not isolated from contact with visitors.
