Yes. Not wild, of course, as they are native only to Australia, but there are ranchers/farmers who have them. Emus were imported in large numbers for emu farms during the 1980s. When the price for emus collapsed in the 1990s, many emus were released into the wild, and they have continued to grow in number.
No. Although emus are farmed in some places, it is illegal to shoot or harm any emus in the wild. They are native birds and therefore protected by law.
The lifespan of a giant panda in the wild is about 30 years.

Emus are native to Australia. Due to farming, they have been introduced to other countries such as India and the USA. There are also emu farms in Peru: whether any emus have escaped to the wild there is unknown.
Emus are native to Australia alone. However, because farming of emus has been done in North America and parts of Asia, including India, they are also now found in the wild in those countries.
The greatest threat to emus is Man. Man degrades the environment and causes habitat loss, and introduces non-native animals such as cats, wild dogs and foxes, which attack juvenile emus. Emus can outrun dogs and dingoes, but the young emus are quite defenceless. Young emus are also subject to predation by goannas and eagles, while lizards eat emu eggs.
Up to 12 years in the wild and 20 in captivity.
Emus are not at all vulnerable. Whilst their wild population is believed to be declining, there are still hundreds of thousands of emus in Australia. The wild population of emus in Australia is estimated at 725,000. There are also around 250 emu farms in Australia and overseas: an estimate of how many birds there are in emu farms at any particular time has not been determined. There are also plenty of emus in reserves and sanctuaries.
Emus are native to Australia alone. However, due to overseas farming of emus, this bird can also be found now in the wild in some areas of North America and even India, but it is not native to these areas.
