Cow Escapes Local Abattoir, Runs Through Caboolture Traffic

A cow made its great escape from a local abattoir in Caboolture, Queensland, on August 31, barrelling through the town’s roads. Resident John Good was in his vehicle when he saw the runaway cow at a busy intersection, as this dashcam footage shows.

“Police actually had to cordon off streets, because it was charging people and destroying fences,” said Good.

But unfortunately for the cow, she did not make it very far.

“Eventually the cow was put down, because 2 [tranquilizer] darts didn’t calm it enough,” said Good. Credit: YouTube/Peter Good
