'Bullest' protest in history

On February 20, 2009, the Anhai Town Government of Jinjiang city, Fujian province was besieged by dozens of ox. According to the report, Anhai Town Government demolished the farmer's no-licences temporary cowshed by force in the morning. Unexpectedly, the farmer drove his ox to the entrance of the town government as protest.

2009 is the year of ox (in Chinese zodiac), and in northern China "ox" has the meaning of "cool", hence this small scale protest is called as the " 'bullest'(coolest) protest in history" (史上最‘牛’抗议) by China netizens :)
