When I was young we went down to Oklahoma to pick up a Charlois bull. (Pronounced char lay) At the time all we had was an old 1956 F100 Ford Truck step side. Dad and I wired in the stock rack as best we could setting off on our 400-mile round trip to pick up the bull. I wasn't old enough to drive but I remember that truck's front wheels barely touched the ground on the way home.
Dad would stop every now and then and pour water on the rear wheel bearings. I don't know if that helped but he was raised in Oklahoma during the Depression and always had a cheap way of doing things. When I was older I did learn that truck had heavy-duty springs. Thank goodness. He got his college education and raised a prosperous family but he always held on the some of the old ways.
We got rid of that bull and went with a Black Angus bull for our white face Herefords. Dad said the BA had a smaller head making birthing calves easier. All I know is bulls are obstinate, mean sons of beetches and they'll do whatever they want.

if the suspension is 'beefed up' (pun fully intended) on that side
to handle the extra weight, it won't handle like a normal car
but;
Yeah I don't see the problem
except for maybe a distraction to other people or other drivers
that's not the Bulls owner's problem, really...
I'm sure the LEO was thinking about how long a 'fix it ticket'
could or would be on that car or time on paperwork would have been
& dealing with the animal on top of all of that, so he just warned the guy
LEO had a heart

That particular bull had 3 feet of horns sticking out the right side of the car. Without that problem and the BS flying around behind the car, I would be okay with it. I think the guy with the pet buffalo took him/her into the bank with him. You would be much safer with a cow rather than a bull. Bulls just get pissed off at humans easily. I can't even show the videos of bulls attacking bullriders. It's too brutal. Turn a bull into a steer and cows in general are much more docile.
