1. Our own Jon Stewart saved the day. Good for him and lucky for the bull.

The article had a picture of Jon Stewart. That's great, but how about a picture of the bull posted right here on DU. I'd like to see the bull.

Note the way he has raised his back legs up so that the rear of his body looks large and threatening. He is ready to attack. Not really. But he is trying to look like he is ready to attack.

What a character. I love it.

2. Just added it to the OP and the link to the NYTimes story about this.

4. Nice broad hanches. Looks nervous and aggressive. Not an easy animal to handle.

But then he is probably very upset by what is being done to him. He will surely settle down once he has a grassy meadow and a safe place to live.

3. Runaway bull? That's not a nice way to refer the York College faculty

Oh, a REAL runaway bull...

Animal gets loose, is sent to sanctuary.

9. gotta agree with you Kali

steer maybe. bull? don't think so

14. Blackbaldy steer was my guess.

Everyone who has experience knows fences don't mean much to a group of steers.

10. just saw another report

After a checkup, Mr. Bull will become Mr. Steer. presumably

12. It looks to me

like a young bull, not yet full grown. Hard to tell.
