Fox News
A cow that escaped from the unloading area of a Rhode Island slaughterhouse has been recaptured by its owner nearly two months after first fleeing the facility. In the weeks since, the 1,500-pound steer has been roaming the area around Johnston.
The 1,500-pound steer has been roaming the area around Johnston after making a break from wholesaler Rhode Island Beef and Veal in Johnston, on Feb. 4. In the weeks since, the burly bovine has been roaming residential yards, and even made a brief appearance 10 miles away in Providence. Police had warned locals to steer clear of the steer, fearing that he may cause a potential traffic accident. Residents were advised to contact Rhode Island’s Department of Environmental Management with any sightings or tips, while authorities attempted to corral the cow into wooded areas.More Related News
