Photo by Dartmouth Animal Control/Facebook Jan. 27 (UPI) -- A cow that escaped slaughter and spent nearly eight months on the loose in Massachusetts will soon be headed to a new permanent home at a New Jersey sanctuary, animal control officers said. The 2-year-old black angus heifer, dubbed Princess, escaped while being loaded into a trailer bound for the slaughterhouse and spent nearly eight months on the loose in Dartmouth before animal control officers were able to lure her into a trailer.
