"Herman," a doomed 1400-pound bull drags officers down New Jersey street in a brave attempt to escape death row
Sep 28 2009
Police say a 1,400-pound bull escaped from a northern New Jersey slaughterhouse, dragged officers with a lasso down a street and ran 10 blocks before being captured and sedated. Chief John DeCando, spokesman for Paterson Police's animal control division, said the bull was being unloaded at ENA Meat Packing Inc. when it broke loose just before 8:30 a.m. Monday.
Police tried to corral the bull by lassoing a rope around the animal's neck, but it dragged officers down the street instead.
DeCando said traffic was light during the bull run. He said the area where the officers were dragged was not residential or near a school.
Officers finally corralled the bull and DeCando was able to sedate it.
No injuries to the bull's captors were reported. The bull was returned to the slaughterhouse where it was willfully injured until dead.
Bulls really get the worst of these deals!
