A bull that escaped a slaughterhouse and caused a scene Tuesday in Brooklyn will spend the rest of its life at an animal sanctuary in New Jersey.

Mike Stura of Skylands Animal Sanctuary in Wantage says that when word got out that a bull was running wild in Brooklyn, his phone went off.

“It was like ‘boom, boom, boom,’ One after another,” he says. “Literally a couple hundred calls.”

Many knew that the animal would eventually end up at the sanctuary.

Once the bull was sedated and captured, it was brought to Wantage. It was named “Shankar” after a Hindu deity. Officials say that it is about 1 year old.

"The vet and I had to kind of halter him up so we could give him his shots, take blood and look him over,” Stura says. “He was pretty feisty."

Shankar just had a scrape on his leg and vets expect him to pass all health tests.  Once he does, he will be put with other rescues.

“He has nothing to worry about,” says Stura. “Hopefully he'll live until his 20s here."

Skylands is also home to another bovine named Freddie who escaped from a slaughterhouse in Queens in 2016.

“Freddie is a moose now. He’s 1,800 pounds,” Stura says.

Stura, who has rescued about 40 bovines so far, says that he does it because he loves the animals.

“I can’t take the injustices they suffer in our world,” he says.
