Bull Escapes Farm, Ravages Town, Meets His Maker

A "highly aggressive" 1,300-pound bull caused havoc in Raynham, Massachusetts, this week. The bull, en route to the slaughterhouse, had other plans and decided to make a break for it, running through electric fences and jumping a 6-foot berm like it was nothing.

The bull ran...jumped...escaped.

The rampage began on Monday and quickly escalated. The bull, now a fugitive, made its way to Interstate 495, causing a three-car pile-up. If that wasn't enough, he then took a leisurely jog into the woods and a dip in Lake Nippenicket. But his swim session was cut short when he aggressively charged at officers.

One brave officer, rifle in hand, taught this bullish fugitive a lesson by shooting him in the leg, disabling him. But the bull's journey ended when the farm owner delivered the coup de grâce with his hunting rifle.

Chief David LaPlante praised the officers' valiant efforts, stating:

I want to commend our brave officers who put themselves in harm's way to make sure that a bad situation did not get worse.

Raynham PD. A force to be reckoned with. Even bulls can't escape their fate.
