Unfortunately they contacted the owner who agreed to have the bull put down. Both of the bulls front legs were broken and he could not walk anymore. He coupld just stand in one spot lowing in pain. He would not have been able to walk to food, water, etc. and there was no way to keep the bull alive long enough for him to make a recovery. They don't make hospital beds with traction for 8 ton animals.
