The last of eight bulls was captured in North Attleborough Monday night.

Several bulls escaped a traveling rodeo, Los Aventureros Bulls/Rancho El Milagro, on Sunday afternoon.

Samantha Beckman of North Attleborough and Sam Aromin of Fall River told NBC 10 that they were the two who first found the missing bull using thermal drones.

“It was very very intense,” said Aromin. “People are shopping at this time and we didn’t want that bull to hit any pedestrians.”

Aromin and Beckman both said they first tracked the bull near the back of a nearby Lowes, the bull then made its way back to the Emerald Square Mall where it was corralled with help from Police and the rodeo.

“It was a wild goose chase,” said Aromin. “He was going 20 miles-an-hour.”

Both Aromin and Beckman both specialize in finding lost animals. But never could they have imagined trying to find a bull, they said.

“It’s been a wild night, a really wild night,” said Beckman. “Most important the bull is safe and people are safe.”
