Bull on the Loose in New York CityUPDATE: A bull that led police on a wild goose chase through NYC after escaping a slaughterhouse has died just hours after it was captured. http://abcn.ws/2ljslmVPosted by ABC News on Tuesday, 21 February 2017
Animal defense association,Skylands Animal Sanctuary & Rescue, acted as soon as they heard the news. The founder drove to Queens, hoping to adopt the young bull and give him a second chance at life in their sanctuary. After all, they had already done the same for Freddie, another cow who had escaped from a New York abattoir.Sadly, a little while after his capture, the young animal passed away when he was on his way to a specialized veterinarian clinic. It is likely he died from an overdose of tranquilizers given by the policemen. Skylands Animal Sanctuary & Rescue wrote:
I'm sorry he didn't make it. Very sad. He wanted to live so badly and gave it everything he had.
