A bull bound for a Massachusetts slaughterhouse briefly escaped its fate Monday after it crashed through electrified fences, jumped a berm, ran across on an interstate and swam through a lake, authorities said. However, police officers in Raynham, south of Boston, fatally shot the 1,300-pound animal when it charged at them, police said in a news release.
When the bull began “aggressively” swimming toward the group, the department said, an officer fired at the animal with a department-issued rifle. “The shots were ineffective at stopping the animal, and the bull got out of the water and began to charge at those on shore,” the department said. The officer fired several more shots, striking the animal in the leg and disabling it, police said. The police department released a brief video from an officer's body camera that captured the encounter.
