A water buffalo who escaped as his owner tried to slaughter him became a folk hero-type figure in Iowa last week as the animal — who was also shot by police — was on the run for days. Residents in Pleasant Hill, Iowa — a city in the Des Moines metropolitan area — first spotted the water buffalo Aug. 24 in the middle of a roadway. Passersby were puzzled by the strange sighting, since water buffalo are unusual in the area. After multiple sightings, residents started tracking the large animal and named him PHill (pronounced Phil), after their city. Pleasant Hill Police were alerted to the wandering mammal and spoke with its owner, who rents land just north of Pleasant Hill. The owner told officers he was attempting to kill the animal to butcher him for meat when the water buffalo escaped the property, according to Pleasant Hill city spokesperson Candace Bell. The owner told officers the water buffalo was “aggressive and dangerous,” Bell said.
