If You See a Bull on the Beach, Don’t Do What This Person Did

This should probably go without saying, but apparently it doesn’t: If a bull wants your bag, just let it go. There are very few people who this might not apply to. Farmers, maybe. Matadors. Runners in Pamplona. Even on…

“You are really playing with it right now. Please don’t do that,” one said.

The woman lay in the fetal position as bystanders yelled at her to stay down. The bull then proceeded to stop.

It’s unclear what the extent of the woman’s injuries were.

This isn’t an uncommon event at Cabo San Lucas, either; according to KTTV-TV, officials said that the beach this was filmed at was in close proximity to cattle ranchers which makes encounters like this not uncommon.

Yet, you would think this would be common sense. A bull is, well, rather menacing up close. If one wishes to engage with a male bovine, it’s wise to either have heavy weaponry or experience dealing with huge toros, hopefully both.

This woman had neither. She had food. And how did it end up? You do the math and decide whether you want a fate like this for yourself.
