Molly the Cow Safe at New York Farm After Escaping Slaughterhouse
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A 500-pound cow that nearly drove police mad after hoofing it out of a New York City slaughterhouse has been saved from a future between two buns.
The young cow, nicknamed Molly, was delivered intact to a Long Island farm sanctuary on Thursday afternoon.
Joseph Pentangelo of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says the all-black cow seems to be enjoying her new freedom at the Calverton sanctuary.

The spirited cow dodged cars, cops and a few irate butchers for a mile after escaping Wednesday from the Queens slaughterhouse.
Police captured the heifer an hour later.
