Teenager to eat bull that gored him

A teenager in Maine said he feels OK after being attacked by a bull on Monday night. Vinnie Huntington, 17, said he was trying to round up the bull and a steer after both got out of their pens on his family's farm.

Huntington said he was about 10 feet away from the bull when it charged him. The bull hit Huntington twice in the back, flipped him in the air and stomped on him before his mother and a neighbour were able to help free him from underneath the bull.

Huntington, who suffered two dislocated shoulders, two puncture wounds to his back and several bumps and bruises, hopes to be released from the hospital on Thursday. Shortly after the attack, the 1,800-pound bull was shot and the family plans on eating it for dinner.

"I'm going to enjoy it, too," Huntington said.

Maybe the goring was karma for raising cows for slaughter.

But then he's going to eat the cow.

I wonder if karma'll get him with E. coli...

Circle of life?
