Episode 7: Saving Ostriches and Defending Animal Rights with John Catsimatidis

On this episode, Curtis Sliwa hosts John Catsimatidis, the owner and operator of Red Apple Media to discuss the controversial issue of an ostrich farm in British Columbia where the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are ordered to cull the herd due to a past avian flu outbreak. Catsimatidis explains the plight of these ancient animals which developed antibodies after some fell ill four years ago and advocates for independent testing rather than culling. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the National Institute of Health also supports the cause. The conversation expands to other animal welfare issues such as windmills affecting whales, proposed lawsuits, and other energy concerns. Sliwa continues solo to highlight his mayoral campaign focused on animal welfare, detailing plans for no-kill shelters, prosecuting animal abusers, and removing sales tax on pet food. He also discusses recent experiences with wildlife in New York City and emphasizes the significant role animals play in people's lives.
