In Thuringia, Germany, police have now shot dead an emu that escaped from its enclosure. All attempts to capture the animal had previously failed.
The Australian flightless bird “Nando” was discovered by a road user on Saturday in a field next to a country road. The day before he had escaped from his residence in Schlotheim (Thuringia), the police in Nordhausen reported. But all attempts to recapture the animal failed. It is said that even the owner contacted could not tame “Nando”.
Suddenly ran towards officers
It was said that the large bird probably felt threatened by firefighters and police. He kept running towards the country road. After a wild chase with the emergency services across the adjacent field, the emu suddenly turned around and ran towards the people. To ‘avoid danger to police officers and other road users’, the twelve-year-old animal was ultimately shot dead.
