So, in local news here, someone turned in an illegal emu that they didn't realize was illegal. How do you just happen to have an emu?
Arbieroo
wonders
if they thought it was a turkey?
Oh jee, I just happened to have one running around loose?
Gee, officer...I didn't know it was illegal!
JigmeDatse
thinks
most if not all non-native flora and fauna are illegal. How does one not know that? Isn't it a big deal with everyone coming there?
Not that everyone takes it seriously, but I thought it was part of the standard "Welcome to Hawaii" speach.
it is not like you can drive to another state and bring one back in your car.
Exactly.
Lemongrass
says
it's quite hard to see how they got one in.
Arbieroo
thinks
maybe it flew? 
I would not have turned it in. I think I would have invited the neighbors and had roast emu!
The eggs would have made quite an omelette!
