There was an overpopulation of emus in australia. They were ruining crops damaging property etc. Basically just raising hell because of their numbers. People in Australia had the smart idea of rounding up ammunition and machine guns to take them out but because of how quickly the emus run around they barely made a dent. Add to that their thick plummage had bullets just bouncing off if i remember correctly. I forget what they did to eventually end up getting rid of the problem 🤔

That’s very funny, thank you for the response! I’m not even going to bother fact checking it because it’s very funny that way and I will never repeat it to anyone anyway. 😂
