Taser ends emu scamper on Pennsylvania Turnpike - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Taser ends emu scamper on Pennsylvania Turnpike - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "After two hours of chasing it on the road, trying to corner it in the woods and even attempting a cowboy-style lassoing, troopers finally decided to stun the 4-foot-tall bird with a Taser to stop it rather than shoot it.
DeLuca said it was the only choice left.
'We tried everything to save the bird,' he said.
The bird fell to the ground after the shock. Troopers moved the emu -- which was still alive -- to the side of the road. That's where it took its last breath."

Tasers are DEADLY FORCE, gawddammit
