How do they kill Emu's

[JBH]

Childhood memories of emu burgers

 

Bet they're dead hard to kill

 

How do they do it?

 

Our current best option is a samurai sword

 

Any ideas or experience?

It’d be a pain if you did a nice clean beheading, only to discover they’re like chickens and can keep going for a bit. The difference being the beheaded chicken just wanders round whereas the beheaded emu still stands a chance of mugging someone. Unfriendly big bastards.

Careful with sword thinking. I bet they have some tough bone in the neck. Axe on a chopping block probably surer. Now you’re into strapping an emu down though.
 

I’d probably distract with feed and head shoot it.

Probably stun them like chickens would be the obvious way. I wonder if it's halal?.

 

I could have gone flight of fancy, little executioner hats and alike, but anything with wings flaps and becomes seriously dangerous.

I believe Rod Hull tried and failed many times before he eventually decided the only way forward was to throw himself off a roof and let the emu live.

Stick to beefburgers.

Hand to hand. Do it like man.

Probably the same way as captain cook killed the dodos 🦤

Erm, just because they were good eating doesn't make them good time birds.
