Emus were seen as a pest in Western Australia, as they were able to duck whenever a boomerang was thrown at them, and therefore the Australian emu hunters could never catch them. The Royal Australian Cavalry had demanded emu feathers to place in their hats so that they could look pretty when charging into battle. Therefore there was high demand for killing these emus, and the whole of Western Australia had been put on red emu alert. This meant that the Prime Minister of Australia enforced martial law and cut off any trade or connections outside Australia. This was so that no support could reach the emu invaders in what became known as the Emu Crisis of '32.
