Low or rare probability with high or catastrophic consequences get ranked as a medium/moderate risk.
Medium/Moderate risk with some control methods introduced can get it reduced to a lower risk rating. Culling one flock of Ostriches is hardly an extreme measure to help keep the risk rating lower. As other examples of animal control have been used in this thread - if your herd of cows tested for TB, they're gone. If my chickens tested for Bird Flu, they're gone. Why are the ostriches different? Because Covid?
My toolbox would not consider these events however the CFIA, WHO, CDC, and many others would.
Personally I'm fully in favour of a world pandemic. We carry along too many genetically defunct people due to our emotions and our make believe ethics and morals and it's lead to gross over population and poor health within the population, there are too many elderly in our system which is putting a strain on it, it's even begun to impact reproductive rates. It is no longer survival of the fittest.
Despite my own personal beliefs on the scenario, I can still see and understand why they are doing what they are doing.
