Bone-tired buffalo butts owner

Driven crazy by its heavy load, a buffalo butted his owner with its sharp horns, throwing him high in the air, on Tuesday in Lishui, Zhejiang Province.

Its owner Wang earned money by letting neighbors borrow the buffalo for plowing the fields. On Tuesday, the buffalo was forced to start work from early morning. Wang kept cracking the whip to make the animal move faster, even though it had gone without a rest for several hours.
