A Camargue breeder carries a bull ... in a convertible

A bull on the back seat of a convertible, on the roads of Camargue. The video has raised many questions, since the beginning of the week, on social networks: was it a real bull, or a simple mechanical cowhide?

As incredible as it may seem, it was a true one, if one believes its owner, interviewed by Midi Libre. This breeder of Cailar (Gard) had to climb into his car the animal of 400 kg, which had moved away from its enclosure. Under the incredulous looks of motorists, he brought Bambino home.

"He behaves like a dog"

"When his mother abandoned him, he was recovered," says the breeder, in the regional daily. We raised him to the bottle, it was in December. He spent the whole winter in the house, by the fireplace, with the dogs. He was raised with dogs. And when the beautiful days arrived, we put him in the meadow, with the calves of his age. Since he was raised with dogs, he has no reason to do otherwise, he behaves like a dog. When we call him, he comes. He is very close to humans. "

When the bull escaped from its meadow, "I didn't know where to put it, or what to do with it, I didn't have a truck on site," continues the Camargue breeder. I told myself that we were going to put him in the car, he's brave, it doesn't risk anything. "

Remember, however, that carrying a 400 kg bull on the back seat of a convertible remains strictly prohibited. First, because it is dangerous, if the animal escapes on the tracks. And then, because there is "a maximum weight to be respected", specify the services of the gendarmerie at 20 minutes .
