djpt-11The government hired former World War I soldiers to fight the emu.
The soldiers used the Lewis machine gun, a light machine gun that was widely used in the firstworld war. They used that gun against emus in Australia, more than a decade later.
Emus won the war!
It took about 10 bullets to kill a single emu, hence the officials decided that it is not worth it. Major Meredith was the leader of the war, but in the end, the emus won! And one of the soldiers quoted “The emus have proved that they are not so stupid as they are usually considered to be.”
