Overview

• A 600-kilogram bull bolted from a planned farm transport early July 10 in the Montalchez-Les Prises region and was not en route to a slaughterhouse.
• Swiss media corrected initial reports that misidentified the animal as a beige-brown Charolais, confirming it is a brown Limousin bull.
• Alertswiss sent real-time warnings advising hikers to steer clear of the aggressive animal and report any sightings to emergency number 117.
• Neuchâtel police have joined game wardens and the cantonal veterinary service in coordinated search operations across the Swiss Jura.
• Officials stand ready to fire a tranquillizer dart once the bull is located so it can be safely returned to its stall.
