Stupid townies. 'Oh wow man, I didn't think dude could be so unpredictable!'. As if it's the buffalo's fault.

It's a wild animal, doing what it does. When an animal that big and fast gets squirrelly, you move away quickly. Likely, you should have never been there in the first place.

"Don't f*ck with the bull if you don't want the horns!"  The Park Authorities are not going to harm the bull, they're going to move him out of the Park to an Indian Reservation.

That old boy took to flight real good.  But because he didn't stick the landing I give it a 1.5.

I forgot to mention, the hangtime was impressive.  I upped my score to 2.5 out of 10.

The question is: How high? And did the toss exceed turret tosses in Ukraine?

I think the more detailed story said he was tossed about 8ft and seriously injured...

The only surprise to me is that it wasn't an Asian the bull got after.

They seem to be #1 target of bison.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

If that big brown box is a dumpster, I'm surprised (well sorta) that the fellow didn't dive in. I'd rather smell like garbage and even old diapers than get hit. That little bit of steel could make a difference (but it likely will get dented up).

Bison are ornery critters, anyway, and screwing around in the vicinity of a bull isn't the path to a long and happy life. That one had already invaded a picnic area, and wasn't even just ambling about.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
