Six cows escaped on the way to the slaughterhouse and ran for their lives through the streets of St. Louis for hours.
They were captured and taken back to the Slaughterhouse. Some animal-loving people couldn't stand it and offered the company to take them in on their farm. The slaughterhouse did not accept this - it wanted to see money for them and set almost three times the actual price. Ellie Laks, the founder of the animal protection organization The Gentle Barn, shared a touching video on TikTok a few days ago to remind people that cows are incredibly emotional and emotional animals that have close bonds with each other and with humans. The love that Elli felt back then must have been the decisive factor in her now founding a sanctuary for animals in St Louis. Regular cuddle sessions take place here, as another video shows. “We hold therapy sessions where you can sit on the floor and the animals come towards you and lie down next to you” The cows behave almost like dogs and are just great.
