PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) - Bay County Sheriff's deputies were
forced to use a Taser to subdue an escaped emu named Plop-Plop.
The large female bird escaped from a farm last weekend and on
Monday, she holed up with some horses and goats in a pen. When
deputies arrived, the emu "went kind of crazy," said Sheriff's
deputy Randolph Grob.
The deputies didn't want the bird to hurt itself or them, so the
used the Taser stun gun to immobilize Plop-Plop.
The emu was brought to the Bay County Animal Control Center,
where she has made a full recovery. The bird's owner is expected to
take her home soon.
