Date: Early November 2025 (during emergency stay order period)
Location: Edgewood, BC – Universal Ostrich Farm perimeter
Visual Notes:
– Yellow CFIA / RCMP tape marking restricted area
– Katie attempting to hand legal papers through tape line
– Multiple RCMP officers on site refusing to accept documentation
– Officer gestures toward another unit “responsible,” but none accept the papers
– Officers turn away and walk off camera

Transcript Summary:

Katie: “We’re going to be filing this in court for the emergency stay order that we’re in, and I just wanted everybody on notice.”

RCMP Officer: “You’ll have to talk to [inaudible]. You can’t serve me. We’re not able to accept notice.”

Katie: “I’ve always been able to. There’s never been a problem serving or giving papers to you guys before.”

Officer again refuses. Katie states:
“We’re going after a breach of Supreme Court order. It says maintain safe custody — and they are not doing that. These animals are being abused. You are now all under contempt.”

Narration: “They’ve always accepted before. Now they’re running to the back — look at this. They turned their backs and walked away.”

Key Points / Legal Relevance:
• Confirms RCMP refusal to receive or acknowledge court-filed emergency order papers.
• Visual evidence of non-compliance with judicial communication protocols.
• May demonstrate procedural obstruction in an ongoing animal welfare and property rights case.
• Supports claims that the stay order was active when the cull continued.
