Wayward Bull Steers Into Supermarket

Where's the beef?

Share

(Newser) – A wayward bull nearly locked horns with employees as it slipped through sliding glass doors and raced up aisles in a supermarket in Ireland, reports the Guardian. The animal, which escaped from a nearly outdoor market, butted a shopping cart that workers used to try to corral him, and chased a frightened customer and store owner down an aisle. He finally galloped back out the door. He was safely caught later, but may end up one day back in the beef department.

"No one can say we don't have the freshest beef in my store," said the supermarket owner.
