Giant watusi bull named Howdy Doody rides shotgun in car - KHOU 11 Houston

[Rhiannon12866]

The driver was pulled over and told he needed to take his bull named Howdy Doody home. The ordeal apparently upset the bull which led to bull...um poop on the car. - Aired on 08/31/2023.

2. KHOU reported this, but I guess this story has gone national!

I feel bad for the poor animal, it's hardly like taking your dog for a ride...

4. I read about this earlier, but the picture is necessary to get the full flavor.

5. I actually saw this story early this morning, must have been on MSNBC

Don't they have special accommodations for transporting large animals, it's not like my dog who can't reach the window to see out!

6. I didn't laugh.

7. Me, neither, I felt sorry for him.

Though I still can't imagine how he gets the poor animal in and out of that small car...

9. A front-end loader and a sling would work...

Apparently he takes Howdy Doody (the bull) for a ride thru a local parade every year.

10. He must have help loading the poor thing and he obviously did something to his car to accommodate him

Not sure that's legal.

8. Is it me or does this audio sound like am AI manufactured news article?

Sorry Rhi, didn't mean to derail your OP.....it's I finally figured out that a lot of video I watch seems to have the audio produced with non-human reporters.

11. I did see this story on MSNBC this morning

And there are numerous posts on this story today - I mistakenly posted this video in the wrong state forum since it was reported on KHOU-Houston. Looks like this story has gone national.

Not in this life! Just a very weird video.....thanks for posting!

14. OTOH, it might really like it,

Seems like neuro-science could tell us if the pleasure/pain brain areas of the bull were monitored.

15. Could be, it's not like my pup who's too short to see out the window!
