Something for your entertainment The Great Emu War...

Quote:The Emu War (or Great Emu War)[sup][2][/sup] was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the later part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus (a large flightless bird indigenous to Australia) said to be destroying crops in the Campion district within the Wheatbelt of Western Australia.

Quote:it has also been argued that some in the government may have viewed the operation as a way of being seen to be helping the Western Australian farmers, as well as to stave off the brewing secession movement.

Ibid.

Its such a keystone cops operation that its become a bit of a joke, we lost a war to enus.
