NJ cow to be spared despite escape

Animal control officer John De Cando tells The Record newspaper it was like “Dodge City” with police cars trying to corral the 750-pound animal. But the cow managed to break loose. De Cando tranquilized the cow after it became trapped between a fire hydrant and a truck. De Cando says the slaughterhouse owner has promised to take the animal to a farm. No one was injured.
