Bull Still on the Loose on Long Island, 1 Day After Escaping Slaughter.
Much like his bovine friends on the West Coast, one bull on Long Island, New York, was not interested in a trip to the slaughterhouse this week.
animal "busted" through a fence Tuesday morning and as of Wednesday, July 21, still has not been found.
ABC7 says the animal was meant "to be sacrificed as part of the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha" when it got loose during a 50-person ceremony and ran free.
He said a handful of people suffered minor injuries as they tried to move from the animal's path.
Rescue groups are working with the Suffolk County Police Department to track and locate the bull as locals share sightings.
As of Tuesday night, patrol cars were searching the area, looking not only for the animal but its footprints, too. »
