AikiDale Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I think the bull is just checking on a drunk photographer to see if he is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikW Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 Oh I don't know, I just can't imagine running with the bulls after tapas y sangria. It just seems a little foo-foo. What did Hemingway drink? That would be the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajarrel Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I count about 10-12 armed, uniformed policemen there with a buffalo running amok about to gore/trample the guy on the ground and not one gun drawn. The guy with the bald head looks like he is saying, "Ya'll give 'em room. He picked that fight. Lets see who wins!!!" dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 What did Hemingway drink?

ErikW Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Shame on me, I know better than to call it a buffalo, which is something you walk behind in your rice paddy or hunt with a big gun in Africa. The American Buffalo is not a true buffalo. Its closest relative is the European Bison or Wisent and the Canadian Woods Bison, not the buffalo of Asia or Africa, such as the Cape Buffalo or Water Buffalo. Scientifically, the American Buffalo is named Bison and belongs to Bovidae family of mammals, as do domestic cattle. Because our history has so ingrained in us the name "Buffalo", we still use it, although "Bison" and "Buffalo" are used interchangeably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.40AET Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Bull photo is great! I live about 10 minutes from where the buffalo/bison incident happened. It was all over the news. I was pissin' my pants all day laughing. They aired the 911 tapes that came in when the animals got near the highway. All of the police were commended for their wrangling skills.
