Surviving Cow That Escaped Slaughterhouse Finds Home On Farm Sanctuary

The remaining cow out of the of 40 who embarked on an escape from the Manning Beef slaughterhouse in Pico Rivera has managed to find a better life on a farm, away from the constant fear of being turned into a beef patty.

The other unlucky cows were returned to the plant, and one was even shot by police for charging a family.

“I am in the meat business. The animals were harvested. Note, they were raised for the public to consume,” the Chairman of Manning Beef told City News Service per CBS Los Angeles.

The unnamed cow will now live at Southland Farm Sanctuary,

“The as-of-yet unnamed cow is very hesitant and fearful of humans, which is unsurprising considering everything she’s gone through,” the Farm Sanctuary in Acton posted. “She’ll likely calm down as the days go on, and she comes to recognize that we aren’t going to hurt her, though she may never warm up to humans fully. But that’s one of the great parts of Sanctuary: we don’t force her to spend time with us; we allow her to just be.”

“She’ll also have a routine thirty-day quarantine period to ensure she’s healthy, and doesn’t have anything she could pass on to our other residents. These first days, though, are just for her to settle in.”
