Someone is terrorizing Commerce Township Michigan (population 40,186). “I have to go to the post office at 6 o’clock in the morning to avoid him,” said 69-year-old Edna Geisler. “He tried to come right in the door,” said neighbor Rick Reid. “He bit me on the elbow.”
The terrorist: “Godzilla,” a 25-pound tom turkey.
“With video: Godzilla the wild turkey stalks Commerce Township woman,” John Wisely, Detroit Free Press

Get a squirt gun and the Tom will leave her alone. I’ve had to do that with Muscovy drakes and other over protective animals. Most will turn tail.

From the sound of it, a water cannon is called for, or at least a high-pressure garden hose.
