When it comes to wildlife, Boston has it all! Mean turkeys, swimming coyotes, bald eagles, bunnies, chickens, and now a bull. Yes, a bull. Earlier this week, a bull escaped from a home in Roslindale and is on the loose. Evidently, the resident had no idea that you’re not allowed to keep farm animals, other than chickens, in the city limits. Hmmmm, we can’t imagine why. Maybe for exactly this reason, now there’s a bull roaming the streets of the city.
According to Axios Boston, he was spotted near Stella and Harding Road on Saturday but “was able to evade capture” and slipped off into the woods. Boston Animal Care and Control even tried using a thermal drone but had no luck finding the bull.
With this bull on the loose, there’s a real possibility that it could wander into any neighborhood at any time. The question is, where might the elusive bull will turn up next? Wrong guesses only in the comments? We’ll start – having a frozen margarita at Yellow Door.
Has anyone checked any of the neighborhood china shops?
And for the love of God, if you see the bull don’t try and wrangle it!
