Cowboy Cops Kill Bull

The Town Hall at Las Pedroneras in Cuenca, denied that a bull escaped during the start of last Tuesday's fiesta and was shot by local police 36 times, to kill it.

But this video that turned up on YouTube shows the allegations to be true.

It seems the bull escaped from a garage while the lottery to select the bulls for the next bullfight was going on. In a scene from Keystone Kops the Professionals move in shoot the scared and much wounded animal, rather than wait for a vet to arrive who would use a tranquiliser gun.
