Maine teenager to eat bull that gored, flipped him

[April 20, 2010]  DURHAM, Maine (AP) -- A teenager who was gored by a bull in Maine is going to have the last laugh. His family shot the bull and plans to eat it.

Seventeen-year-old Durham resident Vinnie Huntington says he was rounding up the bull and a steer when the bull turned on him Monday night. He says the 1,800-pound bull gored him and flipped him.

He suffered dislocated shoulders, puncture wounds to his back and bumps and bruises.

His mother and a neighbor intervened to save him.

Local station WMTW-TV says the teen hopes to be released from a hospital Thursday.

He says he'll participate in the feast. He says he's going to enjoy it.
