How To Deal With A Charging Bull
1. Do not antagonize the bull, and do not move. Bulls will generally leave humans alone unless they become angry.
2. Look around for a safe haven--an escape route, cover, or high ground. Running away is not likely to help unless you find an open door, a fence to jump, or another save haven--bulls can easily outrun humans.
2. If a safe haven is not available, remore your shirt, hat or another article of clothing. Use this to distract the bull. Despite the colors bullfighters traditionally use, bulls do not naturally head for red--they react to and move toward movement, not color.
4. If the bull charges, remain still and then throw your hat or shirt away from you. The bull should head toward the object you have thrown.

*Tip: If you encounter a stampede of bulls or cattle, do not try to distract them. Try to determine where they are headed, and then get out of the way. If you cannot escape, your only option is to run alongside the stampede to avoid getting trampled.
