Freedom: It's the natural human impulse. We all want liberty and we'll do a lot to get it.

And from time to time we're reminded that some animals feel the same way:

Rhonda Collins said she and her family were on northbound Interstate 83 Wednesday afternoon in York County [Pennsylvania] when they saw the steer in the trailer in front of them appearing to rub its horns against the door latch.

Collins said the doors swung open and the horned Houdini jumped out onto the highway near the Fishing Creek exit.

The bull just busted out of his trailer and quite literally hoofed it:

It was a brave, valiant bid for freedom, though at times the bull didn't seem to know what to do with his newfound liberty.

It took a while to round the steer up — this was one big animal, folks:

(Gotta love seeing a photo of a cow filed under "CrimeWatch!" 😂)

Eventually the bovine was recaptured:

'With the help of numerous people, we were eventually able to get the steer loaded back into his trailer,' police said in a statement.

Truly an inspiration to bulls everywhere!
