More weird news from Mississippi. In the town of Forest Mississippi, Bird Bird had to be put down with a cattle prod.
Not exactly, but close, AP reports from WLBT-TV.

Miss. police use Taser, handcuffs on wayward emu

Officers had to use a stun gun and handcuffs to capture an emu running loose on Interstate 20 in central Mississippi on Sunday. Police Officer Kiley Culpepper told WLBT-TV in Jackson that motorists had been calling 911 since Friday to report sightings of two emus on I-20 and nearby U.S. Highway 80.

Authorities had been unable to find the animals until Sunday, when one was spotted near an I-20 entrance ramp.

The big bird was dodging traffic. Culpepper and deputies were able to surround the animal but has to use the Taser and handcuffs to finally get it off the road.

After being captured, the animal was taken to the Scott County Forest
Coliseum.

Can you imagine the frustration of the Mississippi State Trooper? He was trying corral this giant, agressive, bird, getting pissed off and just zapping the thing. The is bird is lucky that he wasn't shot, dead right there (DRT).
