Maryland State Police say a trooper shot and killed an emu that had been on the loose for two weeks, blocking traffic and disrupting a North East neighborhood.
The trooper shot the large, flightless bird July 1 in the woods off Irishtown Road after residents complained about it. Police say the bird appeared sickly but behaved aggressively.
Although the emu had been on the loose for weeks, officials were unable to find its owner.
State Highway Administration workers removed the dead emu from the woods on Tuesday.
That thing is scary as he**
ReplyDeleteAm I reading this right? They killed the bird July 1st and it wasnt removed until the 6th ?
ReplyDeleteNo, July 1st was a friday, Tuesday would be the 5th. Remember, Sat, Sun, and Monday (Holiday) there is nobody working. If it was in a woods, what was it really hurting to necessitate costing overtime to bring someone in?
ReplyDeleteSimilar story with a similar ending a few years ago in North Worcester.
