Are you blind? As said before only the inner claw is a giant dagger and the rest are not. If it were declawed why would they leave the biggest claw used for killing things?

i'm not talking about the one in your pic. the one in your pic has its claws.
the one in the video though, look at it. it looks like the toes themselves are cut short.
idk why that other anon said yours had its claws cut, it very clearly doesn't.

The weight behind it would still push you down. Though a 6ft buff man with steel plate armor just needs to keep gauntlet punching it everytime it tries to kick until it finally stops out of fear.
first thought was "don't"
but on second thought do you guys think chainmail could work?
surely chainmail could stop their claws
Use pavlovian conditioning to get it to associate attacking humans with pain.
Or just selectively breed them for less and less aggression over time but that's fucking boring.

If you're going LARP for (You)s then at least put some effort into it.
it's not tamed, it's mutilated.
either all of its claws are gone, or its whole toes have been removed. it knows it can't do anything to defend itself and displays extreme fear. if its toes are gone, it's probably in pretty terrible pain, too.
idk if that guy did it to it or not, but i surely hope australia has laws to check in on this situation.
That was nine years ago at a commercial facility which works with zoos. Nothing illegal happened and the birds were not mutilated. They simply aren't vicious killers when you have a good relationship with them.
It's impossible with modern technology available to civilians. They can literally kick at super sonic speeds. The ones you see in zoos are raised from birth and even then require absolute minimum interaction to humans. Besides that there is no real commercial value to them so not worth the risk to human life.
Behead you wee wee gay
I dont get the hype around these birds, like yeah they could kill you easily, but so can any other big enough animal
they are dinosaurs
Ratites are pretty. I like big bird. And these ones have nice blue on them and head smasher.
>local zoo has one
>its kept in the farthest back corner of the zoo in a nondescript area with regular chainlink fence you can walk right up to
Seems to lack claws, no?
If you look closely you can see them before it takes a step
bro, it's declawed. compare to OP pic.
You can literally see the claws in the video. Only the inner claw is huge
Go to the zoo and get close up video of its feet.
Also show Wauf and date on video.
Wouldn't the inner toe of the one in the webm be like half the length if it were declawed
heres a picture of the same bird from the same day
now compare this one to the one in the video here
look how its feet look like stumps. that's why i say this one has been abused.

Looks like a god damn turkey
Thanks for the pics. I can see that it's not declawed. I was wrong.
its ok anon here have the chunky gator who is relatively treated unwell since they keep them in shallow concrete pools
Empathy and fruit trees.
😀 happy day happy day happy animals and happy day 😀
I like anamals and nautre 😀
Damn I just remembered about Kevlar. Forget mail.
Dinosaurs, man
damn kinda want to be an armored cassowary farmer now

there are those shark diving chainmail suits, surely mail could hold up against a cassowary

If you are going to selectively breed them, might as well make them the size of a terror bird and completely carnivorous
Sounds based. We could replace horses with these and employ them for farm/home defence
chainmail only works for slashing. even with sharks, it only works on the smaller ones.
cassowary definitely kicks hard enough to stab through it.

look at its feet. it has no claws, and it looks like its toes are stumps.
this, cassowaries were domesticated some 10,000 years before chickens because they're naturally very passive

I'm guessing you frequent goat threads.
A strong relationship with Jesus Christ.
