Wow... Buffalo defended it's home

Why do people live the comfort of their homes and go disturb wild animals in their spaces. They are wild animals that's why they are kept far away from people.

Poor Buffalo I hope it was not harmed.

The victim should have known about the threats Buffalo possess and the animal always win its battles
