Woman hurt trying to ‘save’ wild emu
MOSSY HEAD, Fla. (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.
