Pregnant Cow Escapes From A Truck That Was Taking Her To The Slaughterhouse And Gives Birth To A Wonderful Calf
18Kviews
About a week ago, a truck was taking a cow to a Paterson slaughterhouse in New Jersey, United States. However, she was not an ordinary cow and her story broke the internet.
Around 2:45 a.m. on Thursday night, the now-famous cow called Brianna fell 8 feet out of the second level of a truck that was taking her to a dead-end. She wandered around the highway until authorities captured her after an hour-long chase. She was named in honor of a police officer Brian who alerted the sanctuary to the animal’s escape.
However, the story doesn’t end here.
Little did they know, she was nine months pregnant. Some may think that she did that in order to save her baby. As soon as she arrived at Skylands of Wantage sanctuary, she gave birth to her baby who was named “Winter”.
They both are safe and sound and now live in the sanctuary.
Earlier this week, the calf Winter took its first steps. This moment, just like her birth and arrival, were filmed and shared on Skylands social networks, where you can see the new mother and daughter.

It gave the impression that she jumped from the truck thinking about her baby

The calf is already walking and today lives happily with his mother in the sanctuary

I may not be vegan/vegetarian, but I definitely think that the way they treat animals in farms should still be safe and humane for them, even if they're going to end up killing them at some point - this includes giving the animals room to move, feeding them appropriately, and not killing pregnant animals. Plus, the meat, pelt, etc. will be a lot higher quality.
I think it's ethical using animals for food. But we have to give them a good and happy life and a fast and painfree death. That's the only logical thing to do... they sacrifice their lifes for us, we need to treat them with respect.
Brigitte, “Sacrifice” suggests they give their lives voluntarily. They don’t have any choice.
As i was raised on a farm like lifestyle if animal live good and happy life with fast and pain free death they also make better food (cows and chickens)
Annina Aleksandra.... For me it's morally acceptable to feed on animals. I'm even ok with eating zebra, dogs or guinea pigs. People all over the world eat the weirdest stuff; that's what they grew up with but we have to do it right. As long as life and death are absolutely torture free (and not an endangered species) I'm fine with it. I really am.
Agreed.
Pain free? Yeah, not always. Not usually. I am not veg/vegan, but please do your research before you post.

How is it ethical? Can you enlighten me?
It is terrible the ways they treat pigs.
I agree. But even if we exclude ethics and only look for profit, these farmers should know it's a loss to kill a pregnant animal. I mean, new cattle - new income, no?
Erp, no need for that many downvotes! (Downvote this if you want)

Well, the question is whether you will be willing to pay about USD 7 (or EUR 7) for the amount of meat of a single burger patty, and about 15 for a steak. This is a realistic price for organic, animal-friendly farming. I am afraid most people are not willing to, although hardly anyone does not condemn mistreatment of animals.
There's no such thing as humane killing. This is just a lie you tell yourself to feel less guilty. Turn things around, and think about cows killing and eating us. "Oh, this is perfectly cowmane. We just impregnate you by rape, and then immediately rob you of your child straight after you give birth, so we can force you into a life of slavery robbing you of your milk until we kill you. You will never see daylight, or be able to move much" SOUND NICE TO YOU????
I totally agree with you. Even if you are going to kill them at least have some empathy until they are alive.

She must be in a better MOOd now!
Animals are rebelling against human cruelty! I love it!
You can read many articles on this. For example, this one by the FAO: http://www.fao.org/docrep/003/x6909e/x6909e04.htm You are welcome to enjoy your burger, but do not deny where it comes from.
Isog, animals aren’t stupid. When people are loading up trucks of cows, the cows are likely not thinking that they are going anywhere safe. And when cows don’t return, the others are probably suspecting that they are dead.
