Runaway emu shot to death by Pa. state police

This is what happens when we have a system that just sort of lets cops do what they want. If the ones who don't value human life get away with murder, then of course they're going to kill animals without hesitation.

As they should. Emus are nasty and can kill you.

Yes. They can be very dangerous. We had to kill a Mountain Lion that had wondered into the city about 20 mins before the streets would have been filled with little kids walking to school. You wouldn't believe the hate we got for shooting that animal. People think theres always a wildlife expert with a tranquilizer gun on call for instant response. Ive never once even seen an animal control guy with one and they take hours to respond anyway if you can even get ahold of one.

Theres no Vets with tranquilizer rifles. They wouldnt even know which end shoots on any kind of gun. Maybe a zoo but you think a wild animal that can jump 45' is just going to stand there and wait two hours for Marlin Perkins to show up from the zoo, if in fact you can even find someone.

Puma's take full grown joggers. A 10yo walking to school is a gimmee. And I'm sure theres all kinds of stupid stupid enough to get out of a car to pet or feed the ostrich, or emu, or whatever. Looks like a real fun loving bird.

A good read about mountain lions where I live.

Well I have as good a chance at being a tough guy as you do being recognized as a never ending incessant frenzied Police Critic expert Which btw has no impact on those you are trying to impact the most lol

We...being the policed...have every right to be critics of how we are being policed. Don't like it? Don't be a cop.

There's this thing called animal control or if you're in a pinch maybe reach out to a vet who has tranquilizers and the knowledge to use it.

I guess with the stay at home there aren't enough people to shoot......

The cassowary has been known to kill human beings with slashing blows of its feet, as the innermost of its three toes bears a long daggerlike nail. The bird has been observed moving rapidly along narrow tracks in the bush, sprinting as fast as 50 km (31 miles) per hour.

That is a shame. Kill the bird for causing lengthy back ups with traffic.


Someone needs to send leftist protestors a video of what happens for causing lengthy traffic backups. Uhoo Aunty Fa.....take notice.

Or maybe send them this video...



No one is to blame for this other than the owner who allowed his "pet" to get loose.

I wouldn't have made any effort to save the Emu. The thing is raised for meat and leather anyway and is native to Australia so who gives a damn? It has 4" hooks on its feet and a beak that could mess you up and your going to chase it around the Highway trying to catch it so you can be made "Liberal of the Day"?

This country is so twisted they care more about the Emu being killed then the Police getting killed. An Emu? Really? Who cares? Your going to risk injury to save a bird who's just going to be made into bird burger or shoes in a few weeks anyway? Its not like its some kids dog or anything or a cat in a tree.
