GreenBoys Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 An "aggressive" water buffalo escaped from its owner in Iowa over the weekend and remained on the loose Tuesday, with police urging residents in and around Des Moines to keep their eyes peeled and steer clear of the creature. Police in Pleasant Hill issued a statement Monday with the words "do not approach it" written twice in all capital letters to describe the beast, which might have been injured when officers fired a shot at it. "The owner informed us the animal is aggressive," the statement said. The Polk County Sheriff's Office has launched a drone to search for the animal, along with ATVs, along bicycle trails near Little Fourmile Creek, police said. "The safety of the Pleasant Hill community is our top priority," police said. "With a dangerous animal loose in our community, we are using all resources available to keep our community safe and attempt to return the animal to its owner, if possible." https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/aggressive-water-buffalo-loose-prowling-streets-iowa-rcna168467 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
