Yes. Birds are a branch of dinosaurs. The same branch as Velociraptor.
Birds are in the Dinosauria group.
My D&D group (of whom one is from Florida, and three are from Australia, not including myself and our DM) were making jokes just last night about "killer" animals in Australia and Florida, and the Cassowary came up at the end, being the first time I ever heard of them. So the timing of this is kind of surreal to me.
What's kinda funny to me is there's absolutely breeds of Emu that are docile and you can have them as pets. Although their claws are something to still worry about, generally speaking they're safe to have around (though you still need to know what you're getting yourself into, and depending on the area, may require a permit).
What this guy was even remotely thinking about this particular breed, I honest to god don't know. Though, judging from the way the article is written, doesn't sound criminal whatever it was. Still...
Either way, I feel sorry for the family and give them my best wishes.

These are the second scariest birds after Shoebills.
Shoebills look humanish and they make me very very uncomfortable.

"HUEHUEHUEHUEHUE"picture of the culprit just after the kill :
I was in Australia in the Daintree rain forest years ago. The tour guide we had had to pull over like five times to yell at tourists to stop getting out of their cars to take pictures of cassowaries. I can still very vividly remember him yelling "they'll fucking kill ya" in a deep Australian accent.

To be fair, the usage of raptor is actually for robber/thief and was not meant to suggest a close relationship. It just so happens when we have a better understanding that we see how good that name was.
Yeah, go outside. They're everywhere. Chirping and squawking amongst the trees.
C'mon, y'all know that's the lame answer to that question. You gotta sell people on it first.
YOU KNOW, LEAD WITH THISMaybe don't breed birds with a dedicated murder claw on each foot
Fucccckkk.Maybe don't breed birds with a dedicated murder claw on each foot
Don't be dumb people. We're so weak compared to so many animals.
Look at this sick, psychotic bastardpicture of the culprit just after the kill :
I don't find it lame at all. As a kid I was fascinated by dinos and always wanted to see them irl. As an adult, I came to know they've always been there. It's amazing!
Oh my godMaybe don't breed birds with a dedicated murder claw on each foot
:o
If someone told me that was a dinosaur foot, I would believe theme lolMaybe don't breed birds with a dedicated murder claw on each foot
Fucked up but even more fucked up that he was breeding them in the first place. There literally is no point to doing this and dying in such a pointless way.
These birds will kill you for your god damn apple if they have the chance. Do not mess with these fuckers, they will end you.
Reminds me of a time I went hiking alone in the rainforest in North Queensland. I was prepared for cassowary and scorpion and snake and spider. But I was on the lookout for those giant scary birds especially because I was in their prime habitat. Little did I know I wouldn't see a cassowary that day but I'd be chased through the jungle by a 1000 pound feral pig with tusks probably at least the length of a cassowary talon. I should be dead. Lucky the pig ran off without murdering me. TLDR be careful in Queensland, or Florida for that matter.
Well...will they kill the anaconda? Cuz I'm OK with this scenario. As a Floridian I already know to give the wildlife space. If it's just going to fuck up tourists I don't see the downside here.
