That was the question on my mind as I read this story about an emu that
was murdered in a rural area outside Hamilton, Ontario.

Unless the killer was a descendant of someone on the losing side of The
Emu War in Australia [1], this seems like it could only have been an act
of revenge on the "crazy, emu lady" as the owner says she was called. 

~~ 
[1] No, I didn't make that up. There actually was a "war" waged by
humans against emus in Australia, nearly a century ago. The humans lost.
