To add another item to our list of hilarious animals caught on police bodycams like this goat clip, we are adding this video of a cute baby bull in New Jersey who was found “assaulting” a mailbox.
The Stafford Township Police Department posted this video on their Facebook page last month. It shows Officer Pascale’s bodycam from when got dispatched on Hilliard Ave in New Jersey.
It was said that the police got called to help round up and escort a few animals home who escaped from their gated pens that afternoon. In the video they posted, Officer Pascale was on his radio and had his cruiser between him and the cow who was busy headbutting a local’s mailbox. Although their Facebook said that “Officer Pascale was not amooooosed when he got dispatched to this call on Hilliard Ave today,” we can hear him laughing at the whole situation.
Once the baby cow conquered the mailbox and had it resting defeatedly on the ground, the cow went on his way to a nearby house where he got some dogs barking at him.
At this point, maybe to deter the cow from going further into the mailbox owner’s house, the officer hollered at the cow with his “moo cow,” which the comments section also found to be hilarious. As one of the top comments said that it was “THE BEST EVER” and that the award goes to the officer. One other comment said that the officer’s going to need more training on their wildlife communication skills.
Though I couldn’t find anything about the place where the animals escaped from, it was reported that with the combined efforts of the officers and animal control, all escaped animals were able to be rounded up safely and were returned to their pens soon after.
