Bull kicks man in the face - GIF

[BuffaloJohn]

As demonstrated so well my that girl in the video a week or so ago, being tossed around like a rag doll by the buffalo..

Story from Yellowstone... as you drive about, often you will come upon a traffic stoppage - it's an animal and folks stop to see. The buffalo are not as scared of humans and vehicles as they used to be decades ago and it is common for the stupid two legged creatures to equate the closeness of the buffalo as tameness, which is clearly not.

We stopped with the throng and watched and listened. You could hear the bulls bellowing and you could see cows and young bulls coming down the draw, not running, but moving along to a new grazing area. Tourist man took his kids out the boardwalk toward the animals. Left son there and went back to get his wife. I went over to him and told him to go get his son _now_ and explained what was about to happen. From the bellowing, I could tell there was a really worked up bull on his way down the draw but we couldn't see him yet. The pattern of the herd that had already come down indicated that the herd would pass close on both sides of the boardwalk. "Go get you son now, and watch what happens after you get back" Soon after he got his son back, I showed him where that bull was, what the cows were doing how you could read the herd. Then the bull made it to the boardwalk and proceeded to shred a shrub at the end of the boardwalk feet way from where his son was left before. Then the bull got on the boardwalk and strutted and wildly swung his head.

The animals are readable if you think like them and don't attach human emotions to what wild animals do. Every video I have seen of the tourist who gets gored show that the animal is bothered by the stupid two legged thing and then with a quick shake of their head, hooks the stupid two legged thing and flings it out of the way.

Could I control the buffalo in the wild? No, but I could remain safe and at distance. There is an old saying that you can get a buffalo to do anything it wants to do...
