The police took down the two bulls that escaped on Tuesday evening in Eastern Styria on Wednesday afternoon. The cattle, weighing up to 700 kilograms, had escaped while being unloaded from a slaughterhouse in Fürstenfeld, ran towards the city center, and from there across several municipal roads towards Übersbach. Around 2:00 PM, they were spotted in a forest west of Fürstenfeld. Cobra officers took down the animals with targeted shots, the police reported.
Bulls had successfully hidden
The animals had successfully hidden on Tuesday, even though police drones had been deployed. Due to poor weather conditions, the search had to be called off around midnight. The search resumed in the morning. The police had warned people to keep away from the cattle.
