A bison that managed to get away from a local rancher in Belton Texas on Tuesday afternoon that was seen running in the streets of the city was captured by cowboys who had the assistance of an animal control officer as well as veterinarians after a concerned citizen called the police and city officials were told about the incident. The bison had escaped from a veterinarian's office on Tuesday morning. when the cowboys used a tranquilizer gun to kayo the bison who was a thick brush area that was near Interstate 14 before the bison passed out and was taken to his home in Waco Texas where the bison will spend time at the Cameron Park Zoo. The city officials are thankful the bison that has escaped from the veterinarian did not harm anyone while running in the streets of Belton. The time period of chasing down the bison from that the bison got away from the veterinarian's office to being captured took around six hours.

The cowboys did admit that chasing down the bison was very tough.

@RubyHawk They were doing their part catching the bison riding horses which they admitted it was tough on them but they enjoyed it.

I'm glad to hear they were humane and that the bison got home. This is one of my favorite animals. Bison, hawk, and wolves are my all-time favorite animals. I live in the west so these are my favs in this part of the world. But, I like elephants, frogs, and some others.

I have yet to see a bison in person myself. I agree with you that the animal was treated humanely by the cowboys and other persons who chased him down.

@celticeagle Times change to the point where seeing animals in your area ceases to exist usually due to weather changes.

That is scary for sure, I wouldn't want to face a bison from what I've read about them.

I've read that bison tend to be somewhat mean.

@rebelann I think that bison are very protective of their homes.

bisons are also dangerous. One of the auto drivers near a reserve forest in india said that the bison entered the city and broke the glass of the auto. They can create damage

We used to have bison roaming in the field behind the house here. But they sold them. Glad nobody was harmed. They are massive animals.

Why took 6 hours to capture the loose bison? Using a tranquilizer will a few minutes for the animal to loss consciousness.

I guess the wildlife officials were afraid to injure the animal or have the tranquiller hit an innocent bystander on the road.

@Nakitakona There were many bystanders around the area when the bison was loose on the street.

Silly bison could have gotten hit by a truck. I am glad he was caught and is back where he belongs.

The cowboys are grateful that the bison did not get hurt after being chased by the cowboys as well the others since the bison was getting close to being hit by autos in the area.
