Bull Imprisoned His Entire Life Can't Stop Dancing In The Moment He's Set Free

Susanna Grace

We are lucky because we still know how freedom and liberty feel like. But a bull named Bandit doesn't. Kept in chains for his whole life, he was never allowed to step foot outdoors, never got a chance to taste fresh grass. His life was nothing more than a narrow space in the cage, until one day, a man came to release him.

Bandit's situation is not just a story, but it reflects the gruesome fate of animals who live their lives in chains or meat markets. Many of them pass away without experiencing freedom, which, once again, proves that it's never okay to abuse animals.
The man, named Christan, was the kind-hearted animal activist we should thank for. Getting to know Bandit's situation, he immediately made up a plan to rescue him and his other friends. The moment when the bull once thought to be imprisoned for his entire life was released from a tiny, steel pen was captured in a touching, viral video. And his reactions were overwhelmed!

In the video that attracted 28.2 a million views, you see Christan traveling on a truck to the crowded, miserable barn where Bandit lived. When the man entered, Bandit immediately could sense he was not a danger.  The bull met his eyes and started to softly lick his hand.

When Christian removed the shackles from Bandit’s feet, it was a wonderful and teary moment to witness. The animal joyously bucked his legs with energy,  practicing a non-stop "dance of freedom". It was clear the bull was revitalized. Watch it here:

Bandit was then taken to a new home where he couldn't stop exploring, running around his rescuer to show his gratitude and thank. Lovely! We hope to see more beautiful rescue stories like this in the future!
