Yeah, but ostriches and emus are dangerous. One kick from an irate emu can put a Poor! Innocent! Child! in orbit.
Now, no one is proposing that emus be banned. Heaven (or whatever) forbid, you have the right to own whatever homicidally insane fowl you want. We just want reasonable restrictions on who can own emus, how many emus one may own, and where one may own his registered emus.
If no one had emus, no one would be kicked to death by these Evil Assault Birds. Don't you agree that We Must Do Something About This Terrible Epidemic Of Violence?
Man, this is getting too easy...
