Rangers find an escaped cow in New York and call the police.

The officials have a heart for the cow and help her find a new home.

New York (USA) – It was a last-minute rescue when this little calf suddenly decided to flee during transport in New York.

The Hereford cow, which was only nine months old, was actually supposed to be taken to a slaughterhouse.

But as if it had suspected something, the animal escaped and ran straight into Flushing Meadows Park in the New York borough of Queens.

Park rangers who spotted the free-roaming cow in the park in the middle of the city called the police.

This was later announced by a special unit of the New York Police Department (NYPD) on Twitter.

The rangers quickly caught the calf and, together with the police officers, took care of finding a new home for the young animal.

They christened the cow "Stacy" and contacted Wantage, New Jersey Animal Rescue.

She immediately made her way to New York to pick up the foundling.

Calf "Stacy" saved from slaughter: animal rescue gives her a new home

In their Twitter post, the NYPD police officers spoke of a "sentimental mood" among the rangers.

And Mike Stura, the founder of the animal rescue that Stacy eventually took on, described the rescue to World Animal News (WAN) magazine as particularly heartwarming.

It was very emotional to see how happy the rangers and police officers were and how they smiled when the calf was safe.

And Stacy?

After her fateful flight from the slaughterhouse, she found a new, loving home.

"The little one is safe with us.

Today is a very good day,” the animal rescue team posted on Facebook shortly afterwards.

Right from the start, rescuers found Stacy to be an exceptionally calm and lovable calf.

After fleeing the butcher: calf makes new friends

After about ten days of quarantine, during which Stacy was examined and cared for, she was finally allowed to join the other cows on the farm - and immediately made new friends.

The calf is perfectly healthy and can now enjoy life to the fullest

Around 450 animals live at the animal rescue.

They have all been rescued by animal rights activists from slaughterhouses, from cattle markets or farms, from extreme neglect and abuse, from religious ceremonies or from the streets, as the organization describes on its website.

Nice that the clever calf from New York has found a new home here.
