Farnham
EMU
Emu just wandered into a garden
An Emu was a suprising sight that greeted Mike and Rosie Regan as they looked out across the back garden of their Farnham home in January 2000 - it had escaped by slipping through its owner's fencing about a mile away. It took an RSPCA inspector, an animal collection officer and two local authority dog wardens to corner the escapee in a tennis court, where it was kept overnight before being taken away in a horsebox. Emus should be licensed under the DWA Act (Dangerous Wild Animals Act) but the owner was not aware of his legal obligations.
