The Running Of The Vets

In an act of revenge for the annual "Running of the Bulls" in Pamplona, Spain, the Animal Uprising™ has come up with a new event: The running of the Vets. As in veterinarians.

KREBS, Okla. — A large Angus bull apparently didn't enjoy his recent medical treatment. After being treated for worms at the Wynn Animal Hospital on Friday, the 1,800-pound bull charged the veterinarian, Dr. Eric Wynn, knocked him to the floor of a barn and then used its head to repeatedly pummel the veterinarian.

"If this bull had horns, I wouldn't be talking to you now," Wynn, 48, told the McAlester News-Capital. "I thought I was dead."

Wynn had just finished the procedure and released the bull to a holding pen when he was distracted by a telephone call. When he turned to take the call, the bull doubled back through a narrow fenced "alleyway" and slammed into Wynn from behind.

After the bull threw the veterinarian out the door, "He pushed me about 16 feet down the sidewalk," Wynn said.

Future plans for expansion will have an annual festival where a herd of veterinarians are released into an alley where a huge throng of bulls will be waiting to run them down. This is expected to be great fun for the bulls. The vets will probably be unavailable for comment.
