Bull on the run from NYC slaughterhouse rescued by comedian Jon Stewart



NEW YORK - A bull busted loose from a New York City slaughterhouse, briefly tasted college life and ended up being rescued by an iconic comedian.

The runaway bovine's unlikely journey started as it was being taken off a truck at a slaughterhouse in Queens. After getting free, the animal made its way onto the campus of York College, where it startled a group of students there on a tour.

"As we turned the corner, one kid yelled out 'cow.' I'm thinking it was an April Fool's joke, and lo and behold, it was a cow," chaperone Tyrone Sellers said.

Students snapped photos and took video before the steer was eventually wrangled and taken to an animal control facility, where it was dubbed Frank Lee after a prisoner who escaped from Alcatraz.


The black and white Angus concocted a well-devised plan and escaped from a Queens Slaughter house around 10:15 a.m

1. So was it a steer or a bull?

chances are a steer, bulls don't provide very good beef.

4. Just a baby...

If he was smart enough to see an opening, he's smart enough to get another chance.

6. Story said it was a bull. Caught on Libertry Street

At a college campus. This is almost too good to be true.

15. A steer is often nothing more than a castrated bull calf. And

the fact that it is so young almost certainly means that is what it is.
