A Bovine Breakout: Cows Make a Legendary Escape from a Slaughterhouse

In a scene reminiscent of a children’s movie (one my kids would undoubtedly want to replay countless times) or a real-life version of those “Eat more chikin” ads, a herd of 30 to 40 cows broke free from a slaughterhouse and took to the streets of Pico Rivera, California, on Tuesday. Local reports indicate that someone accidentally left a gate ajar at the meatpacking facility, allowing the cows to seize their chance for freedom—who could blame them? They had everything to gain.

The adventurous cows managed to cover about a mile before authorities intervened, rounding them up an hour after their daring escape. “Nearly three dozen cows broke free from a meatpacking plant and stampeded through a neighborhood about 10 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles,” shared a tweet from a news outlet, accompanied by footage of the bovine escapade through suburban streets.

The local sheriff’s office was on the scene to assist with the roundup, all while cracking jokes on social media. “STEER CLEAR for a few more minutes please. We are in the process of mooo-ving the cows!” they tweeted. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office chimed in with a pun too, dubbing the situation a “mooo-tiny” on Facebook. Hats off to these aspiring comedians for managing to resist adding any “Where’s the beef?” lines.

At one point, the cows found themselves in someone’s front yard, leading to what must have been a very unusual 911 call. Unfortunately, the day took a turn when one cow charged at a passerby, resulting in minor injuries that required hospitalization.

In a tragic twist, one cow was shot after charging at a family, with at least one family member needing treatment for injuries. Can you imagine explaining that in the ER? It’s either the coolest or the most embarrassing way to get hurt.

Eventually, the cows were herded back to the slaughterhouse, but they did get a fleeting taste of freedom—this included nibbling on lawns and damaging at least one homeowner’s fence—before their fate was sealed. I sincerely hope those cows enjoyed their legendary (and yes, I’m punning) escape.
