Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Is everyone here signed up to the PETA news emails? If not, read this, and if you can (if you're in USA) can you maybe call... Save the steer! Urge Slaughterhouse to Let Runaway Steer Live! On Tuesday, December 2, a steer made a daring escape from a slaughterhouse in Detroit, Michigan. The 1,800-pound animal ran through busy city streets, shocking passersby, in a desperate fight for his life. He was eventually quarantined in a vacant lot and tranquilized by a veterinarian. The steer is now being held at a farm while the slaughterhouse decides his fate. A Michigan animal sanctuary, SASHA Farm, has offered the steer a home. We want the slaughterhouse to relinquish custody of the steer to the sanctuary. The local community has rallied behind the steer, and many are raising money in hopes of buying him, but we've asked the slaughterhouse to give him to SASHA Farm for free. We don't think the slaughterhouse deserves a dime. Please call slaughterhouse officials to ask them to do the right thing by giving the steer to SASHA Farm: Nazam Saad Al Badr Slaughter House 313-567-6003 313-567-6000 This is an urgent situation, and we encourage you to call slaughterhouse officials right away. They may try to assure you that the steer will be allowed to live on their farm. There is no way to know what the steer's quality of life will be like on this farm, whether it's a farm or a feedlot, and no guarantee that he won't be sold at a later date, since this is not a sanctuary. Please insist that he be donated to SASHA Farm sanctuary. Thank you for all that you do for animals!
