It is for the gene pool. You never know what great medicinal discoveries may lead to an innocuous animal and a great finding. You keep them around until you need them.

Let's give a high five for Diante as he leads us into war in the Big 12 conference race next year. Some are recruited for greatness on Johnny Oar FloOR, more are coming. |

Next question: What is the difference between them? I think there is more dark meat on an Emu. | | | |

I am a farm kid. And I have butchered an Emu. Tastes alot like beef with the qualities of chicken. Just be careful of the kicking. | | | |

Snapple is delicious, but I often overlook it. I may have to purchase a Snapple soon. I am no scientist, but I don't think that an emu is a marsupial. More like an ostrich if I am not mistaken.  |
Boom.....transfer the karma

So did you use a big hatchet to knock its block off or just twist its head around like uncorking a wine bottle??

So did you use a big hatchet Remember they kick, so getting to close without the right pen is dangerous. So a shotgun was used. To the head.

Nice clarification there, I could see an errant bullet just glancing off one of those thing's armor-like wings.
