Only in Jersey!

There was a bull on the loose in Newark, NJ yesterday running along the train tracks. 

Imagine waiting for your train and there's a delay. First thing that pops in your head is "Ugh! Why is my train delayed?" Then you get word that there is a bull running loose on the train tracks. Keep in mind, you're in New Jersey. Just imagine what would go through your head then.

The belief is that the bull actually escaped from a nearby slaughter house. Eventually police and other agencies were able to corral the animal, tranquilize it, and take it to Skyland Animal Sanctuary and Rescue in Sussex County.

Thankfully there were no injuries reported from the incident. Also, if you're in the market to rescue a bull, I know where you can find one.

Needless to say, this story was everywhere. News, social media, other places.

Here’s video of the bull on the loose this morning - it went onto the tracks at Newark Penn. I’m told they caught it. It apparently escaped near the airport - ran toward Penn - then ran back toward airport (Elizabeth) and was caught. pic.twitter.com/G0DzbTJH6j
