A bull was seen running loose at the Charnock Richard Welcome Break services on the M6 motorway in Lancashire. The animal broke free from its handler while being led out of a trailer and charged around the car park before fleeing into nearby fields around 08:10 GMT.
Witnesses reported that the bull appeared calm and was not aggressive as it evaded its owners, who attempted to recapture it. The current status of the bull remains unclear as it has not yet been reported captured.
This incident highlights the challenges of managing livestock transport and safety at service stations. Such occurrences can disrupt traffic and raise concerns about animal welfare, prompting discussions on better protocols for handling animals in public spaces.
