Wandering Cow Captured in Ohio After Escape CINCINNATI (Reuters) - A free-spirited cow who eluded capture after escaping a date with death in a slaughterhouse 11 days ago was captured on Tuesday in the back yard of a home.
Harold Dates, director of the Hamilton County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said the 1,200-pound white Charolais was tranquilized after being flushed out of a wooded park less than a mile from the slaughterhouse.
The cow had been roaming the park since her escape, and various efforts to capture her made TV network news.
Success came after society workers set up a corral with decoy cows in the park. The cow was lured into the corral and tranquilized a first time, but kept going until a second shot brought her down in the yard.
The cow has earned clemency from the execution that awaited her at the Ken Meyer Meats slaughterhouse, Dates said.
Marge Schott, the former owner of the Cincinnati Reds' baseball team, has said the cow can have a new home on her farm.
