"Shocking moment angry bull runs at cars on busy Spanish motorway"

From The Daily Mail:

During celebrations in the Spanish town of Iriépal in Guadalajara, a bull escaped from its cage and bolted down the motorway.

Frightened drivers climbed out of their cars when the bull rammed several vehicles as it ran away down the road. The bull was on its way to help the town north of Madrid celebrate the feast of San Roque on August 16.

"Helping to celebrate"?
That's an interesting euphemism for "being slaughtered and eaten".

Unless of course the bull was going to help them choose the party music or hang up the decorations or something.

Slaughtered? Killed in a bullfight, more likely. At least he will have a chance of taking a human with him to the next world.

B, true, every now and then a matador cops it, but only once every few years. Some consolation if you're about to be tortured to death.
