Most people think of bulls as dangerous creatures who behave aggressively.
In reality, however, bulls are peaceful creatures if they are being looked after properly.
Sadly, Bandit is a bull who was not being taken care of well, but someone ended up stepping in to change that.
Bulls will only attack if they are provoked in some way. Like many other animals, bulls need an open space to graze and roam around.
Tragically, many bulls are kept in terribly inhumane conditions by their owners.
When Bandit was found, he was living in awful conditions. He had spent much of his life tied to a wall that heavily restricted his movement.
This understandably made him very agitated.

Luckily, workers with the Gut Aiderbichl Sanctuary stepped in to save Bandit.
As soon as one of the rescuers approached Bandit, the bull knew that he was there to help him.
He showed this by allowing the man to cuddle up next to him.
Finally, Bandit was freed from his chains for the first time, and his reaction is powerful to watch.
As soon as he was freed, Bandit started jumping and frolicking in pure joy!
He knew right away that he was finally free and that his struggles were over!
Video of his reaction has gone viral, being viewed over 29 million times. People all over the world can't get enough of it!
"Videos like this make me cry tears of joy. All animals deserve love and compassion," one internet user wrote, with another adding, "And now im crying, those headbutts, so emotional."
"This was too much emotional for me please stop my tears I can't handle it," a third user wrote.

What about the other animals that watched him frolicking? They are still closely changed up! Why is this being done?
What happened to the people/ person that had him tied up? Why was he restricted like that? Why weren’t the others released? I can’t believe they got better treatment than bandit.
Like others stated. Why just the one animal taken a care of and released? What about the others?
Oh how touching!!!

Who remembers the children’s story Ferdinand the Bull, a peaceful critter who preferred sitting in a field of flowers.
