It sounds like the stuff of a children’s book: Six young cows making a daring escape from a slaughterhouse, giving chase to police before getting captured and returned, then at the last minute, being rescued by an animal sanctuary where they'll live happily ever after.
That’s the plot of a real story that started on March 30, when six steers took advantage of an open gate at the Star Packing Company in North St. Louis. What ensued were multiple slow speed chases through town as police attempted to round up the unruly herd.
