Mikey I and Stephen Harper weren't the only ones fighting for their lives in Ottawa this week. Lee Carruthers, a 50 year old cowhand at the Ottawa Livestock Exchange in the southern end of the city, lost a battle Thursday with a one ton Holstein bull, a battle that nearly cost him his life and ended up resulting in broken ribs and a collapsed lung.
Donna Casey reports in the Ottawa Sun online that Mr. Carruthers was walking through an alleyway at the facility when the bull decided that he didn't like Mr. C and took a run at him. Knocked to the ground, Mr. Carruthers slithered away, a ten minute slither with an angry bull in the house, not too nerve racking, and broke into another pen and then waited.
Mr. Carruthers is resting comfortably in hospital; the bull will be resting comfortably on a barbeque near you.
I thought Michael Ignatieff and Stephen Harper had the most exciting Thursday in Ottawa.
Wrong yet again.
