Calf Destined For Slaughterhouse Rescued By Sanctuary After She Broke Free And Ran Through Brooklyn Streets

Brooklyn, NY – A calf will have the opportunity to live out her life after she escaped from a slaughterhouse and ran through the streets of Brooklyn this week. The four-month-old calf was ultimately captured after slaughterhouse workers raced after her with lassos.

The calf could have been slaughtered as planned if not for the help of the Skylands Animal Sanctuary which rushed to save her. The animal welfare agency was initially met with resistance. On Facebook, the organization wrote:

We offered this calf a lifelong home immediately, but these people have easily been the least receptive to letting an animal live that I’ve ever dealt with.

Fortunately, the calf’s owners had a change of heart:

THIS JUST IN. THE OWNERS HAVE AGREED TO LET HER COME AND LIVE OUT HER LIFE ON THE SANCTUARY****
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

This calf’s life has been spared. You can follow her rescuers at this link to their Facebook page.
