Gun battle, with bull in the middle, leaves rancher dead

[SecularMotion]

COUNCIL, Idaho -- A crash between a car and a bull near a tiny Idaho town Sunday turned into a bizarre tragedy, when an armed rancher confronted Idaho deputies planning to shoot the animal, sparking a gun battle.

The rancher, Jack Yantis, was killed in the shootout, authorities said.

Earlier Sunday, a Subaru station wagon struck the bull on a highway just north of Council, a town of roughly 800 people, and Adams County sheriff's deputies responded to the crash.

The injured bull began charging emergency responders as they worked to get the driver and passenger out of the car, according to the Idaho State Police, the agency that is investigating the shooting.

2. Bull rights don't trump basic human rights...

I remember Buster my Fathers prize polled herford. We had farmers who would bring cows over with the intention of breeding show cattle for their kids.

3. Not unusual at all

We do battle over pro-control bull right here everyday.
