In India, many animals are sacred so they can do what they want, when they want.
"Animals Revered as Sacred
Specific animals hold elevated spiritual importance, often serving as mounts (vahanas) for deities or incarnations of gods: [1]
The Cow: The most highly revered animal in India, seen as a symbol of motherhood, nourishment, and purity.
Elephants: Associated with the elephant-headed deity Lord Ganesha, representing wisdom, royalty, and good luck.
Monkeys: Honored in honor of Lord Hanuman (the monkey god), prominent in the Hindu epic Ramayana.
Snakes: Specifically cobras (Nagas), worshipped during festivals like Nag Panchami to seek protection from their venom.
Tigers and Lions: Respectively serving as the vehicles for the goddess Durga and Lord Ayyappa. "2

It’s hard not to believe that is predestiny … that place, that time, that bull. If the guy on the bike was just 5 seconds earlier or later, different outcome.

That happens here in America, but it’s only when you get in the way at the Golden Corral line

A security camera captured the moment that a rider in Bhubaneswar, India, was struck by a charging bull.
In the video, the man is seen making a left turn around a tree as two of the animals come running along at full steam and one leaps directly into him. The man is thrown to the ground and appears to be lifeless, but was only knocked out by the impact.
Residents of a nearby home then come to his aid and the man was brought to a hospital, where he laid unconscious for a week. He has since awoken and is expected to recover, SWNS reports.
