900-pound bull escapes on way to slaughter in Pa.

[December 30, 2010]  DANVILLE, Pa. (AP) -- A 900-pound bull escaped on his way to slaughter and led his owners and authorities on a two-mile chase through two eastern Pennsylvania townships for an hour.

Wayne Myers of Bald Top was headed to the butcher with the raging 2-year-old bull when he stopped at a red light near a middle school Wednesday. He says that's when then the bull made a break for it.

The bull fled ran at least two miles before being shot to death by its owners.

No one else was hurt.
