(630 posts)That bull wants a piece of anybody or anything he perceives as a threat. Granted it's in town, but that's still a wild animal and nature still isn't a petting zoo. Magnificent animals though, aren't they?

He would knock you over and trample you If he had a chance. I saw him take on aggressive dogs that barely survived the encounter. And he was a domesticated animal.
Wild animals in rut will kill you.
