A search continued on Monday for a runaway bull in southern Massachusetts one day after a herd of eight leaped over a fence at a rodeo and escaped. Community members should exercise extreme caution and not approach the bull if found, Fire Chief Christopher Coleman of North Attleboro, Mass., said in an update on Monday morning, adding that residents should call 911 if they found the bull.
No one was injured in the escape, which happened about 12:30 p.m. on Sunday. Firefighters for the city of North Attleboro who were working at a rodeo at the Emerald Square Mall said they had seen eight bulls break loose from their pen, the fire chief said in a previous statement.
The herd managed to run through the parking lot and jump over a fence surrounding the events perimeter, the chief said.
A video from an onlooker featured on the local NBC station showed the bulls galloping away as people in the crowd yelled and ran for safety by jumping on parked vehicles. The bulls then fled south toward the woods behind a restaurant and brew house.

Disgusting they still use animals in this way and so many still support it.

Those rodeos are sadistic and abuse the animals involved seeing as first, they have no say in the matter, and two, they physically hurt the animals involved to get the reactions they want.
