BURLEY — Burley High School was locked down for about 15 minutes on Tuesday when an enraged bull stormed the campus.

Police shot and killed the animal, and no people were injured.

“It was a little like the Old West around town today,” Sheriff Jay Heward said.


Heward said the Black Angus bull escaped from the Burley Livestock auction yard in north Burley and rampaged across town, trampling signs and charging at people.

The bull traveled around the College of Southern Idaho and Cassia Alternative High School before making its way to the high school.

“We couldn’t corral it or stop it,” Heward said. “So in light of public safety we ended up putting it down.”

The officers followed the bull off the school grounds, and no shots were fired on the campus, he said.

The bull was shot the first time west of the high school and shot a second time and killed along the railroad tracks near Cassia Regional Technical Center, Heward said.BHS Principal Levi Power said the school received a call from the sheriff’s office at 11:20 a.m. asking them to lock down the school because the bull was on the campus.

“They told us there was a vicious, angry bull loose on the campus, and they didn’t want anyone hurt,” Power said.

Someday man will outgrow the primitive need to kill other living things.

Right. How much better it would be—how much more advanced and enlightened—to allow a dangerous escaped animal to run amok, and put schoolchildren in danger.

I blame it on the cows for tasting so darn good.
