EL MERCURIO (Chile)
SANTIAGO – A pair of farm workers in northern Chile died Wednesday after being attacked by a raging bull that was captured – several hours later – with the help of a bulldozer.
“After its capture the bull was killed,” El Mercurio Online reported. “According to witnesses, its furious reaction could have been related to the nearby presence of a cow in heat.” The bull had been tied to a stake, but broke free upon seeing the female.
Police and residents in Camarones, the town where the incident occurred, worked together in trying to subdue the 1,700-lb. animal.
The victims have been identified as Orlando García Soto, 59; and Eduardo Visa, 39. Locals said both men had years of experience handling animals.
