In a touching video, a bull that had spent nearly his entire life in chains finally experiences freedom. The moment is beyond words.
This story serves as a reminder that we should pay more attention to the treatment of farm animals, like cattle and pigs, and show them the same compassion given to pets. As Rolling Stone once pointed out: “Every state has laws against cruelty to house pets, but few protect farm animals”. Sadly, this rings truer than ever today. Still, there are many compassionate people working tirelessly to help neglected farm animals.
In this case, a dedicated team managed to release a bull named Bandit after years in captivity. Bandit’s reaction to his newfound freedom is nothing short of incredible, he leaps with joy, savoring the experience. The video, originally posted by the German YouTube channel Gut Aiderbichl, has since captured over 30 million hearts worldwide.\
When a sanctuary volunteer first steps into Bandit’s stable, the bull responds with gentle licks to his hand, visibly emotional. Just moments later, Bandit finally tastes freedom, and his exuberant leaps and kicks reveal his happiness and new vitality.
Today, Bandit has found a new forever home where he can live in peace. Watch this heartwarming moment in the video below!
Heartbreaking footage of an abandoned dog tied to a fence during Hurricane Milton has sparked outrage online
People are holding a dog owner accountable who left their pet alone right before Hurricane Milton made landfall. An officer responds to a distress call regarding a dog that is tied to a fence near I-75 in a widely shared video that was made public by the Florida Highway Patrol on October 8. In the video, the dog is seen standing in water up to its legs while the officer approaches with caution.
The video shows the kind officer telling the terrified dog, “It’s okay.” The dog starts off growling and barking, but the officer handles it calmly and says, “I don’t blame you,” understanding the animal’s apprehension. It’s alright. “FHP Troopers rescued a dog left tied to a pole on I-75 near Bruce B Downs Blvd this morning,” the Florida Highway Patrol Tampa later tweeted. Please, don’t do this to your dogs.
“The dog rescued by @FHPTampa is safe and receiving care,” the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles announced after verifying the canine’s rescue a few hours later. After being examined by a veterinarian, the dog was given the all-clear. The idea to name the rescued dog “Trooper” in honor of the police officers who saved it has been floated around social media.
There has been a great deal of public outcry over the abandonment, with many people advocating for legal action against the owner and expressing disgust at their behavior. Among the remarks were, “This is absurd.” “Those who harm children and pets are the lowest in society and need to be dealt with accordingly,” and “The owner needs to face legal consequences.”
Regarding whether the dog’s owner has returned it, there have been varying accounts; however, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has verified that these reports are untrue. “The dog was rescued and taken to a vet where he received a clean bill of health,” the spokesperson claimed. Right now, he is secure and receiving attention.
This incident emphasizes the importance of careful pet management, particularly in dangerous situations like hurricanes, as well as the necessity of providing immediate care for animals during catastrophes.
