What a handsome bull, Glad he was captured unharmed, Perhaps he was looking for a cow and was lonely,

I'm glad the bull was returned unharmed. Of course he was on a road or highway. That's where all the animals go. lolololol

That is true that the bull is sad being corralled by the authorities.

Well, bully for the fire department, as they certainly never raised a red flag to this bull, and were able to capture it.
