NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. — The last of eight bulls who escaped a rodeo in the parking lot of the Emerald Square Mall was finally wrangled more than 24 hours after the herd fled the scene and caused a social media frenzy on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 22, thanks to thermal drones that tracked its moves.
The animals escaped the Los Aventureros Bulls/Rancho El Milagro traveling rodeo by hopping a temporary chain link fence in the mall parking lot. All but one of them were captured later on Sunday with a lone runaway roaming the streets of North Attleboro and nearby cities and towns that night.
Samantha Beckman of North Attleboro and Sam Aromin of Fall River, Mass., told NBC 10 News that they were the two who first found the missing bull using thermal drones. In the meantime, there were several reports of where the free-range animal had been before he was finally recovered.
“It was very, very intense,” said Aromin in the report. “People are shopping at this time, and we didn’t want that bull to hit any pedestrians.”
Thermal Drones Track Escaped Bull’s Steps
Aromin and Beckman both said they first tracked the bull near the back of a nearby Lowe’s store. The bull made its way back to the Emerald Square Mall, where it was corralled with help from police and the rodeo, they told NBC 10 News.
“It was a wild goose chase,” said Aromin in the report. “He was going 20 miles an hour.”
