Ostrich Dead After Cruel Attack Leaves Leg Broken
An ostrich in the Maldives died after its leg was broken in a cruel attack. The bird's owner announced the death on social media, expressing frustration as the ostrich succumbed to its injuries while the owner sought treatment. The ostrich had gained attention after being photographed standing at a doorstep in Malé, prompting the Ministry of Fisheries, Marine Resources and Agriculture to investigate. The ministry found that the ostrich was hatched from one of 50 eggs imported from Iran under a permit issued by the government in January last year. It was determined that the ostrich should be kept on a bird farm in a cage on Farkolhufushi island, which had been integrated into Hulhumalé as part of a housing development project. The ministry estimates there are currently 10 ostriches in the Maldives.
