As wild of a statement this is, it is true. According to the article provided, a video was posted online, which captured bulls escaping from a rodeo, and charged through the crowded parking lot, then eventually headed for some nearby woods for short-lived freedom.

USA Today reported that the last of the eight bulls was caught in North Attleboro, not far from the Emerald Square Mall.

I like how you got straight to the point, and were factual, the sources provided are also reliable, with even video evidence proving your factcheck posted by "Wcvb Channal 5 boston" on youtube

Using two articles, one of which includes a video of the claim emphasizes the credibility of your sources. Just having an article wouldn't be nearly as credible as finding actual footage of the incident.

I agree with this comment, however let's consider this: With the rise of AI videos it is getting more and more difficult to determine if video/photography can be trusted 100%. Therefore, having a video paired with a credible source is much more trustworthy.
