A pet emu named Barb was killed after being attacked by her neighbor’s two pit bulls at a home in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, prompting her owners to relocate their remaining animals for safety.

Barb's owners said the dogs had previously attacked their animals, including killing several chickens. Police and animal control are investigating the incident, while the owners of the dogs said they are willing to take responsibility.

Following the attack, Barb's family is moving their remaining animals to a larger farm to keep them safe. They are also considering legal action and hope the relocation will provide a more secure home for their emus.
