Uruma – On the afternoon of September 28, it was reported to police that there was a bull outside of someone’s house in Ishikawa, Uruma. The bull was a 700 kg. fighting bull that is being raised nearby the house in question, and the police raced to the house, and slowly and steadily the bull trudged along onto another person’s property, with the police being pulled along for the ride on a rope attached to the bull.

Next, some people who knew the owner of the bull arrived, and the bull was finally apprehended 15 minutes after the police were called. No people or animals were harmed in the encounter.

The bull’s owners land was nearby, and it appears that a stake with a rope tied to it, allowing the bull to exercise, came loose and the bull escaped. Ishikawa deputy police chief Mitsugu Uchizato said, “We were lucky no one was hurt. We would like [the owner] to carefully look after the bull from here on.”
