as Great Emu war of 1932 Casualties

The Emu War (or Great Emu War) was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the later part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus said to be destroying crops in the Campion district within the Wheatbelt of Western Australia. The unsuccessful attempts to curb the population of emus, a large flightless bird indigenous to Australia, employed Royal Australian Artillery soldiers armed with Lewis guns—leading the media to adopt the name "Emu War" when referring to the incident. Although many birds were killed, the emu population persisted and continued to cause crop destruction.

Emu War CasualtiesHow many emus died in the Emu War? The Emu War's casualties aren't definitive. There are no solid numbers about how many emus died, but it's estimated that at least 986 were killed and around 2,500 were injured. And, if you want to know who won the Great Emu War, it was definitely the emus.

During the Great Emu War of 1932, the casualties were primarily on the emu side, with estimates suggesting around 986 emus were killed. On the human side, there were no reported casualties, but the soldiers involved did not succeed in effectively controlling the emu population as initially intended.
