The Deadly Intersection of Pets, Privilege, and Power A pet emu named Barb was chased down a Pennsylvania street before being mauled to death by two pitbulls owned by a neighbor.
The incident has left its owners reeling, but it's not just the tragic loss that's noteworthy – it's the disturbing context in which this incident occurred.
David Callos and Carly Stroman, the emu's owners, claim to have had previous issues with their neighbors and their dogs, yet despite reporting these concerns, nothing was done to prevent this devastating outcome.
