Here is one that I saw at a theme park. During one of the shows, it was much more ornery than you see in this show, and would jump up to claw the guy and he’d push it back whenever it jumped, knocking it off balance enough that it couldn’t reach him to slash him.

Is that the one that it killed him through the fence?

Interesting video. Looks like they cut off the long claw…not that the other ones are a piece of cake.

There was an Emu running loose here in the mountains for a year.
Somebody had exotic critters and moved and just let it go because western MD winters are just perfect for Emus. [not]
NO ONE I called would come to capture it before something terrible happened to it.
Not the humane society, not the DNR, not even any of the LEO branches.
They all said the same thing “Those things will disembowel you!”
Eventually I stopped seeing it.
No idea where it went.
I cannot overstate how surrealistic it was, to be riding home one day and to glance over and see an Emu standing in a cow pasture.
I had to swing around and go back just to make sure I hadn’t gone mad.

A guy up the coast went into sepsis after his Reeve’s Pheasant spurred him good and hard in the thigh. About 4 pounds of very mean rooster. They never really tame down. I’ve known ordinary roosters to be incredibly hostile. One guy used to put a bucket over his jungle fowl rooster every time he went into the coop.

Ive heard it happens to wild animals too. They get lured out of the wild to the farm by easy food and clean water but not being used to the terrain and with all that equipment laying around they tend to trip and fall right into the oven.

They’d have needed a really fast oven.
That thing could run.
