Bandit
the bull performs a freedom dance leaping around with glee in a
touching video after his life in chains is ended by a man from Austrian
animal sanctuary Gut Aiderbichl.
He
was set to spend his life locked to a pole, and can be seen tethered up
by a brick wall confined to a tiny space in the corner of an
outbuilding.
After
being liberated Bandit cannot contain his excitement and is seen
dancing and twirling wildly while experiencing his first taste of
freedom.
Dance of delight: Bandit jumps acrobatically around his new home after his shackles are removed
He jumps off his back legs shaking his now chain-less neck freely side to side, and pushes his head through the straw
Bandit can be seen in his old home tied up to a pole with no room to move.
Wearing a red company top, a rescue man from the sanctuary approaches Bandit who then reaches out to lick him.
Maybe
he senses what is about to happen, or maybe he has never been comforted
by a human before as the man strokes his head before releasing the
tether around his neck.
For
a second the bull cannot quite believe it, turning to his neighbours
still chained up. He then jumps around bidding farewell to his caged
companions.
