A clip was shared by USA Today through its official Facebook page of a bull rampaging through the street. The clip was captioned “Escaped rodeo bull is no match for this cowboy“. The clip was shot by a lady named Chloe Madden who was riding in a car behind the running bull and the rodeo. The incident took place in California.
The bull escaped from the rodeo and was running loose on the street. In the 46-second video, it can be seen that the rodeo was chasing the bull on a horse. During the chase, he was preparing his lasso and as he approached the bull he threw his lasso over the neck of the bull and pulls back.
Pulling the lasso the rodeo rides on the side forcing the bull to slow its pace and turn on the side of the road. In the end, the bull returned back only before striking off a sign board that was placed on the grass beside the pavement. The chase took over eighteen minutes to end without any casualties. Netizens who witnessed this fiasco through the video reacted with mixed emotions.
