How do you put handcuffs on a Watusi bull?

I had no idea how badly I needed to see the news story about this guy in Nebraska who adapted his car to allow his pet Watusi bull to ride shotgun. 

The Watusi bull is described as "a breed of cattle famous in Africa with gigantic horns," and the photograph confirms that it is the bull and not Africa that has gigantic horns. The car itself is equipped with horns less gigantic than the bull's but still impressive, but if you consider the Horn of Africa, then we're in a whole different realm of size re: horns.

The bull's name is Howdy Doody, despite the lack of rosy cheeks and buckteeth. The Watusi bull looks pretty sedate, but I wouldn't want to be the puppet-master trying to stick my arm up inside his innards to make him talk.

A police officer alerted to the presence of a Watusi bull riding shotgun in Nebraska found that while "there were some citable issues with that situation," the best thing to do was to issue a warning and ask Lee Meyer, the bull's chauffeur, to take the bull home, which he promptly did. I'm a little disappointed that this decision robbed viewers of the opportunity to see troopers wrestling the bull to the ground and snapping on the cuffs while the bull loudly claimed Sovereign Citizen status. Is a little mayhem too much to ask?

Howdy Doody had no comment on the situation.

Ahem:

There once was a Watusi bull
who made Meyer's car mighty full.
On the passenger side
Howdy Doody would ride,
but his presence was deemed citable.
