Bull scratching itself on utility pole knocks out power to 700 homes

Robert59 · May 17, 2020

A bull attempting to alleviate an "itchy bum" using a utility pole ended up knocking out the electricity for more than 700 homes in a Scottish town.

Hazel Laughton posted an apology to a local Facebook group after her 4-year-old bull, Ron, rubbed up against a utility pole and ended up knocking the transformer box to the ground.

That sounds like bull to me. I don't think the transformer was secure in the first place.

I'm glad the bull wasn't hurt!

Ironic - the bull's owner's name is "Laughton." (how the story made us laugh and the bull's weight)
