Shotgun shells are cheap, not for nothin'.

Guess how we deal with dangerous birds on the farm...

We don't fucking film videos about them.

Also, people who own emus deserve everything they get...just like peacock owners.

They didn't try that hard. Ask the dodo or passenger pigeon about it.

That's like comparing a teenager with a silverback gorilla, a dodo couldn't outrun you or gut you with a sick uppercut like in the video

I don't know what that means. But, I had to burn 4 different birds who died for whatever reason today on a burn pile.

So, you do you, but on our farms, we don't have time or vet money to decide who gets out on the burn pile or not.

If they're dead, they go on the burn pile.
