If a rear shot is all you have you brainstem the beast, sounds like these guys were just plain trigger happy and had a pack mentally.... very sad, my heart goes out for this rancher and his family!Im the first to admit we need law but none of this story is adding up!!!! very best winpoor


While it does sound like the Deputies botched putting the bull down, it pays to remember that dealing with an animal thats been an RTA is a lot different to dealing with one thats in a crush or otherwise nice and calm..

Hopefully the Deputies body cams will give us an idea where things went wrong soi that measures can be taken to stop it happening it again in future..
