LOS ANGELES – Just in time for the holidays, two cows still believed to be on the loose from a Pocatello, ID meat processing plant where three other cows have escaped since Friday afternoon are getting some help from a national farm animal protection organization. Farm Sanctuary, a nonprofit featured in this month’s O, The Oprah Magazine and that counts Martha Stewart, Ryan Gosling, Kristen Bell, Ellen DeGeneres, and countless more famous names among its supporters, has offered to help capture the cows and give them a second chance at life at their 300-acre shelter in Orland, Calif.
The organization received a warm reception when they reached out to Anderson Custom Pack with their offer to help. “The processing plant expressed concern for the cows, one of whom is pregnant,” says Farm Sanctuary National Shelter Director Susie Coston. “It’s cold outside and they’re worried that the animals are tired, hungry and thirsty, so we’re hoping they will work with us to bring them to sanctuary. It would be a happy ending for everyone involved, but especially for the cows, who want nothing more than to simply enjoy the one life they get just like we do.”
