As the founder of Skylands Animal Sanctuary, Stura is a cow lover who couldn’t stand to see another one bite the dust.
The animal escaped from a slaughterhouse in Jamaica, Queens.
The bovine had bolted from the Jamaica-Archer Halal Live Poultry and Meat Market across the street from the garage.
“We are so happy to let everyone know that Freddie, the courageous cow who escaped from a live market in Queens yesterday, was rescued by Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue [in Wantage, New Jersey]”. But, determined to save the cow, Stura stayed overnight and convinced the workers to turn over Freddie Friday morning.
Freddie is now in a stable at the New Jersey sanctuary’s 230-acre property awaiting his visit to the veterinarian.
Police eventually roped the animal and took it back to the slaughterhouse, where she will meet her fate today.
“Yes, you heard right!” The cow’s freedom lasted just long enough to create amusement along busy Jamaica Avenue.
Following the cow’s dramatic escape, members of animal rescue group PETA held a protest outside the slaughterhouse demanding its release, according to the New York Daily News.

“All officers safe”, the police reported via Twitter. The sanctuary posted a photo of Freddie on its Facebook page: After two weeks in quarantine, the cow will settle in on 230 acres with 18 other cows. “Thank you all for your patience”.
