MOSSY HEAD, Fla. (AP) - A Florida Panhandle woman was flown to the hospital after being clawed by a wild emu she was trying to corral. The woman, who was not identified, purportedly wanted to take it to an animal shelter. An emergency responder said the incident didn't seem like an attack - the animal was just trying to protect itself.

The woman was treated for a cut on the arm and released Sunday evening.

Saw this and thought it was funny.

This is just one of those things that you can tell by the title didn't quite go as planned.

"Oh my, a "wild" emu. We have to "save" it."

"Go right ahead. I'll be in the car."

Several years ago I heard of a guy right here in the local area who was going to "save" a great blue heron with a plastic six-pack ring around it's neck. Well the heron took exception to the guy trying to steal it's bling. Took that dirk of a beak and busted the guy's forehead open like it was cool.

First, was the media kind when it didn't post her picture showing her wearing her new Obama for Nobel t-shirt?

Second, I wonder if she has passed on her genetic material to the future gene pool?
