Loose cow is still on the run in Rhode Island, police say: 'Stay clear of the steer'

A cow is still on the run after bolting while being unloaded at Rhode Island Beef and Veal, a slaughterhouse in Johnston.

Now, the Johnston Police Department is urging the public to "stay clear of the steer" and report any sightings to authorities. In an update posted to Facebook on Thursday, the department clarified that while the cow’s whereabouts are actively being tracked, they cannot chase the wild animal. Instead, they hope to keep the runaway contained to wooded areas where it cannot endanger drivers or itself.
