Watch this Chained Bull ‘Dance’ as He Finally Experiences Freedom for the First Time

Each one of us knows how pain, loneliness, and despair feel like. Some people probably experience these more often than others do. Negative emotions are like chains that suffocate and crush our spirits until we’re completely frozen, unable to move.

As human beings, we can find ways to address those feelings. We can always try to “break free” and do whatever we want.

Animals such as cows and bulls experience fear, sadness, and pain too. Yet, unlike us, they are bound by real chains and they can’t do anything unless we release them. They are like prisoners inside tethered housing awaiting execution.

Fortunately, there are extraordinary people who make it their mission in life to rescue abused and neglected animals living in narrow stables and ultimately, sparing them from abattoirs.

Bandit, the bull, was just one of the millions of animals that spent their entire lives bound in chains, unable to play, run around, and enjoy nature. Can you imagine then how he must have felt when a man named Christian from Gut Aiderbichl set him free for the first time?

In the video, you’ll see Bandit perform a “freedom dance” that evidently shows how ecstatic he is! But, soon after that, he also made an unexpected gesture of gratitude that melted the hearts of those who have seen the footage.

Watch the video:

Gut Aiderbichl is a sanctuary—a protected environment where more than 500 animals that have been rescued from abuse, neglect, and of being slaughtered now live without fear.

Bandit is there with them, enjoying his new life.
