but it is well known that wandering animals in mountains were only introduced to the Americas when the White Man showed up
And Americans importing exotic animals to keep as pets, the only Cassowary death since 1926 was an American in 2019.
No part of my brain would think "Oooh, that would make a good pet."

the snippit:
Wenzlow, N.; Hamilton, W. F. (February 18, 2021). "Cassowary Fatally Attacks Its Owner". Abstracts of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences Meeting. Houston, Texas: 590 (H 65). Normally ... he would hold a 'shock stick' and had a second person with him. On that day ... he was alone and had entered the pen to retrieve one of the female's eggs. During the attack, the victim had fallen to the ground and the attack continued for an unknown period of time. The owner was able to call for help and his outcries alerted his wife, who entered the enclosure with a 'stun gun' to repel the female cassowary. By the time the victim was pulled to safety, he had sustained numerous injuries and had lost a substantial amount of blood. He was rushed to the hospital. ... The patient did not survive his injuries.

I have a pretty good history of buying stuff from people that are later gone, Balfa, .243 Racing, 2Souls, Corsair, Tor, Kona(temporarily gone).

Hopefully I didn't curse Norco with my first new bike purchase in 23yrs, haha!
