The officer had arrived certain his shiny credentials could bend the world to his will. His badge was his shield, his proof that rules were for other people. The rancher’s quiet warning about that one forbidden field sounded like defiance, and pride wouldn’t let the agent back down. He waved the metal emblem like a weapon, lecturing about authority, law, and absolute power, never once imagining that the land might have its own law.When the bull exploded from that field, everything changed. The rancher watched the transformation from arrogance to raw animal fear, the kind that strips a man down to nothing but instinct. As the agent sprinted for his life, suit torn, breath ragged, the rancher finally showed mercy the only way he knew how. He cupped his hands and shouted the most brutal punchline authority can hear: if the badge means everything, try explaining it to the bull.
