how to deal with a charging bull

1. do not antagonize the bull, and do not move
-bulls will generally leave humans alone unless they become angry.

2. look around for a safe haven--an escape route, cover, or high ground.
-running away is not likely to help unless you find an open door, a fence to jump, or another safe haven--bulls can easily outrun humans. if you can reach a safe spot, make a run for it.

3. if a safe haven is not available, remove your shirt, hat or another article of clothing.
-use this to distract the bull. it does not matter what color the clothing is. despite the colors bullfighters traditionally use, bulls do not naturally head for red--they react to and move toward movement, not color.

4. if the bull charges, remain still and then throw your shirt of hat away from you.
-the bull should head toward the object you've thrown.
