ABOUT BULL ATTACKS
Bull attacks are rare but can be severe and even fatal, posing a significant risk to those working on farms, participating in rodeos, or living near wild bulls. Understanding the nature of bull behavior and implementing effective prevention strategies are crucial for ensuring safety. This essay explores the characteristics of bull attacks, the factors that contribute to them, and guidelines for prevention.
Bulls are large and powerful animals, capable of exhibiting aggressive behavior when provoked. Generally, bulls become aggressive due to fear, stress, or territorial instincts. When they feel threatened or challenged, they may charge or attack. This behavior can be exacerbated by factors such as lack of handling from humans, poor socialization with other animals, or hormonal changes, particularly during breeding season. Understanding these triggers is essential for preventing bull attacks.
The consequences of a bull attack can be devastating. Bulls possess incredible strength, and their charges can lead to serious injuries or fatalities. Individuals that work closely with bulls, such as farmers and ranchers, are particularly at risk. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are numerous incidents reported each year involving bull-related injuries, emphasizing the need for awareness and precautionary measures (CDC, 2020).
To prevent bull attacks, several strategies can be employed. First, proper training and handling of bulls are critical. Farmers should ensure that bulls are familiarized with human presence from a young age. Gentle and consistent handling can reduce the likelihood of aggressive responses. Additionally, employing professional trainers who specialize in animal behavior can provide insights into managing bulls safely.
Moreover, creating a safe environment for both bulls and handlers can significantly minimize risks. Fencing should be robust, secure, and free from gaps to prevent bulls from escaping or coming into contact with people unexpectedly. It is also wise to keep the area around the bulls clear of unnecessary distractions or hazards that may provoke them.
Understanding bull body language can also aid in prevention. Signs of agitation, such as snorting, stamping, and pawing the ground, should be taken seriously. If a bull displays these behaviors, it is best to increase distance and avoid direct eye contact, which may be perceived as a threat.
Furthermore, individuals should always remain vigilant, particularly in enclosed spaces where escape routes may be limited. Adequate training in emergency procedures is essential; workers should know how to react in case of an unexpected charge. Wearing protective gear, such as helmets and padded clothing, can also offer additional safety.

- The smokehouse on the Rockland County property.
Rockland County, NY, US. In March 1985 some young boys found a charred and mutilated corpse in a smokehouse on the Rockland County property of a family named LeGeros. The victim – wearing a black leather hood was used in sadomasochistic rituals – turned out to be Eigil Dag Vesti, a handsome young fashion student from Norway who had been missing from his downtown Manhattan haunts for several weeks. It soon developed that Vesti had been murdered in a bizarre sadomasochistic scenario created by 57th Street art dealer Andrew Crispo and his assistant, Bernard LeGeros, a son of the couple who owned the estate. LeGeros confessed that he had fired the gun that killed Vesti, but said that he had done so at Mr. Crispo's behest.
- Eigil Dag Vesti was a young fashion student from Norway. He studied at the New York Fashion Institute of Technology. (he was so finee. )
- Eigil Dag Vesti with a friend in 1984.
- The mask on display at the Rockland County Sheriff's Department.
- District Attorney Kenneth Gribetz shows newsmen the leather mask and survival rifle which police say were used in the killing.
A leather mask was partially covering the victims face, and through the winter months there had been substancial animal scavenging on the corpse. An identification was possible through dental reccords and also visually on the preserved part of the head. This case became known as the Death Mask Murder case.
- The body showed evidence of animal scavenging.
- The face of the victim, which was partially covered by the mask.
Vesti was apparently a willing victim who got more than he bargained for. Meeting Crispo at a bar, Vesti went home with him, where he was savaged in the way he seemed to crave. But then, flying high on cocaine, Crispo began to talk of killing him, according toLeGeros's testimony. The two, taking along a rifle, drove Vesti up to the Rockland County home of LeGeros's family, and after some more wild action, according to LeGeros, Crispo gave the order to shoot. And LeGeros obeyed. "He snapped," Crispo later said.
Crispo was not charged in the case. Apart from LeGeros's testimony there was no corroborating evidence, so Crispo went scot-free. Subpoenaed for LeGeros's trial, he took the 5th and 14th Amendments, which protected him from being forced to testify against himself. However, soon afterward, he was sentenced to seven years in prison for income tax evasion – he owed almost $4 million on income of $10 million – a sentence later reduced to five years, of which he served three.
- Andrew Crispo was arrested, but was not charged in the case.
Soon after his release from prison in 1989, a massive explosion leveled Crispo's cherished house in Southampton, where he had hung some of his most prized works of art. (Before his imprisonment, sales of part of his collection at Sotheby's and Christie's netted Mr. Crispo and his creditors nearly $20 million.) But in 1991 a jury awarded him $8.6 million from the Long Island Lighting Company – which admitted that an accident in the form of a gas leak under the house had been the cause.
In 2019 Bernard LeGeros was paroled after serving 3 decades behind bars for the crime.
- Bernard LeGeros ended up serving 3 decades in prison.
