On Tuesday morning a bull got loose in Jamaica, Queens, in New York.
And like any live animal on the run story, people on the internet were going for crazy over it.
The runaway animal apparently escaped from a slaughterhouse, before running wild through residential streets and being chased by police.

The cow is in custody. And I'm not sure there is a better metaphor for America in this moment than this. https://t.co/KVU4xfyQMf— Jason Karsh (@Jason Karsh) 1487698336
But that didn't mean the jokes had to stop.
How common is it for a cow to be out walking around in Queens? Probably about medium rare.— Charles Louis Richter (@Charles Louis Richter) 1487697760
A few people thought it was quite as good as previous animals on the run.
But really, the bull spoke to us all.
