MOSSY HEAD, Florida - (AP) - A Florida Panhandle woman was flown to
the hospital after being clawed by a wild emu she was trying to
corral.
The woman, who was not identified, purportedly wanted to take it
to an animal shelter.
An emergency responder said the incident didn't seem like an
attack - the animal was just trying to protect itself.
The woman was treated for a cut on the arm and released Sunday
evening.
