COW ESCAPES SLAUGHTERQuadCity Times
GREAT FALLS, Mont. - A spirited cow that jumped a slaughterhouse gate and evaded capture for six hours may not be doomed after all. Appeals to spare the life of the 1,200-pound heifer came from across the nation after she fled Mickey's Packing Plant on Thursday (January 5th) and had several near-death experiences before walking into a makeshift pen and then a stock trailer.
"Road and rail traffic nearly hit her; she almost drowned while crossing the Missouri River and she refused to be stilled by three tranquilizer darts.
"The manager of Mickey's Packing Plant said the animal he dubbed Molly B. probably will be spared from the killing floor. Employees voted 10-1 to keep her alive.
"The manager said the owner is willing to sell Molly B., but wants more than the estimated $1,140 she is worth slaughtered."
This from the QuadCityTimes.
Maybe some force in the universe talked with that cow.
Anyway, don't forget CPR: CONSERVE/PARTICIPATE/RECYCLE
