From the story:
I was told last night that (the man killed) was breeding them. I got notification that a cassowary had killed somebody.
FWC lists the cassowary as Class II wildlife that can (CAN) also pose a danger to people. Substantial experience and specific cage requirements must be met.
75 Years experience was not enough.
Questions!
Do the Cassowary like to eat reticulated Python? Can they help reduce another invasive species? Move them to the everglades!
If they don't, can they fly when you drop them from a helicopter? If they can't they all need to take helicopter rides before they move on to this list! http://www.iucngisd.org/gisd/
Winter kill should keep Illinoisians safe from the Cassawary. (Armadillos and illegal aliens are coming however, and they are bringing leprosy with them!!!)
(This woman is happy, she is happy because she knows that the snow killed all the cassawary and she only has to look out for grizzlies and wolves!)
(I see why you asked me to this thread, someone had to bring a picture of a women and there is nothing to drink but melted snow! :)
I was very happy with my safety in cold weather hypothesis until Lurker came along in #75 and shot it down with global warming!
Looks like I may have to put out a WARM welcome for my new Casuarius neighbors.
Doubting the County will allow Claymores in the front yard?
Command detonated, not the mechanical ambush type.
ANTIFREEZE!!! GOOD OLD GLYCOL!
The CHEAP STUFF, ethylene glycol, has a sweet flavor birds love it, dip their beak into it and deader than a dodo!
HO, HO, HO, I can sleep tonight.
Those cassowaries picked the wrong county to invade.
Cassowary claw neckless could be a big seller over on ebay.
Yes, your friend the redhead will be safe between the cold and the ethylene glycol.
Do the Cassowary like to eat reticulated Python?
The snake would creep up and take it by the legs, a favorite snack for pythons.
Armadillos would no longer be a problem with their leprosy...
The wild hogs are not too far off, Cassowaries would go for the small ones, might keep them in check?
Hogs are tough.
The cassowary plumage is colorful, maybe they could drop them from helicopters in the Chicago parks, the locals can BBQ them and make headdresses.
had to bring a picture of a women and there is nothing to drink but melted snow! :

Always has been good advice...
DON’T eat/drink the YELLOW snow...
