AP News - Mich. Officer Kills Rogue Ostrich August 18, 2001 Mich. Officer Kills Rogue Ostrich By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 10:30 p.m. ET GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) -- A 300-pound ostrich on the lam for three days was shot dead Saturday by an animal control officer as it tried to escape through a cow pasture. The bird had charged at an animal control officer, said Animal control officer Jim Gorlock who fired the shot. ``We tried to corral it into the barn, but it ran through an electric fence and was darting all over the place where the cows were,'' Gorlock said. The bird was one of four ostriches that apparently escaped from a farm where officers found a hole in a fence. Two of the birds were captured near the farm Friday night and returned home. The fourth bird, a younger 200-pound male, was taken to an animal sanctuary. Ostriches cannot fly but can run at least 40 mph. They are raised for their meat, which tastes like beef with little fat or cholesterol, and high-quality leather. Copyright 2001 The Associated Press
