Saturday March 29, 2008
Residents of a Mexican town have taken the law into their own hands and jailed a local troublemaker - a particularly destructive bull.
Residents are raging at the bull's behaviour
People in Canalumtic accuse the animal of eating their corn crops and destroying two wooden shops.
The bull will not be released until the owner pays damages, to be determined by a local judge, police commander Felipe Gomez said.
The owner, Moises Santiz, said he would pay a maximum of about £200 - the same price he forked over for the bull four months ago.
Santiz said he bought the animal on November 4 and let him out to graze.
The bull disappeared on March 1 and was later found tied up in the patio of a private home in Canalumtic, held prisoner by an angry resident before the police got involved.
It is not the first time an animal has been jailed in Mexico's southern state of Chiapas.
Last year, a dog was locked up for 12 days after biting someone.
His owners were ordered to pay a fine of about £9.
