Hunt Intensifies for Australian Driver Accused of Mowing Down Emus, World News

Shocking Aussie Emu Rampage Goes Viral

What starts out as a lazy weekend drive turns into a full‑blown, bird‑smashing spectacle that has left animal lovers clutching their mugs. A man on a 4‑wheel‑drive hits at least a dozen native emus, all while laughing and counting each crash in the most terrible way possible.

What the video shows

  • Man drives a dusty, over‑engineered convoy onto a dirt track.
  • He starts veering wildly, obviously bored, and then plows straight into an emu.
  • Every time he loads a new bird, he’s thundered: “Fing emus! This is fing great!”
  • The unfiltered footage rolls out in a flat‑lined, unedited style that is horror‑crazily brutal.

RSPCA’s response

Australia’s top animal‑welfare watchdog, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), has released a statement that is as strong as the foe’s roar:

“Such horrific cruelty clearly has no place in our society.”
“Our inspectors are currently examining the footage to try and determine when and where it was filmed.”
“The RSPCA unequivocally condemns this type of behaviour, as it clearly shows a disregard for the lives of these vulnerable native animals.”

Why the emu matters
  • Stand‑up to two metres tall, the largest bird in Australia.
  • Flightless but fast, a real Aussie icon that can sprint at over 50 km/h.
  • Found in wide rural regions, making them a treasured part of our landscape.
Legal consequences

The RSPCA reminds that anyone caught committing acts like this could face up to five years in prison—a hard truth that’s enough to make even the most daring drivers think twice.
