Taber-Vauxhall RCMP have been chasing ostriches today.
Just before 8 a.m., RCMP started receiving reports of ostriches on the roads near Highway 36 and Township Road 94.
An estimated 20 ostriches had escaped an enclosure.
One was reportedly struck by a vehicle and killed.
A video that's been circulating social media shows an ostrich running next to a police vehicle, which is then grabbed by the neck by an officer.
