On the night of Tuesday, September 18, 2007 a cow was spotted on the streets of Queens. SHE was tagged for slaughter, but escaped that fate and literally ran for her life. Police and firefighters captured her and brought her to Animal Care & Control in Manhattan. From there, Farm Sanctuary?s rescue team stepped in to bring the FUGITIVE cow, now named Maxine, to safety at our 175-acre sanctuary for farm animals where she will live out her life in peace and comfort. Thanks to THE people who responded to help this cow in need, Maxine will have a life full of green pastures, a warm cozy barn, nourishing food and fresh water, veterinary care, a herd of cattle friends, and the love of shelter caregivers at Farm Sanctuary.
