B.C. bull takes horns, hooves and hot temper for unauthorized adventure

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — China shops, beware — a bull is on the loose in British Columbia's southern Interior.

RCMP say the 635 kilogram bull escaped last week from the BC Livestock Yard in Kamloops, about 350 kilometres northeast of Vancouver.

It was spotted on the weekend, just east of Kamloops, but a news release from Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says it could have travelled some distance since then.

The tan-coloured bull does not have any markings or brands, but it's unlikely to be confused with other livestock.

In addition to large horns, Shelkie says it has an unpredictable and potentially nasty temperament.

She says anyone spotting the bull should definitely not approach it and should call police immediately.
