Runaway cow captured in Ohio

 

CINCINNATI, Ohio (Reuters) -- A free-spirited cow who eluded capture

after escaping a date with death in a slaughterhouse 11 days ago was captured

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.
