The Bovine Bonnie and Clyde

A cow and a bull made a daring escape on their way to the slaughterhouse in New Jersey on Tuesday. They busted out of a trailer and onto the streets of Montvale and caused multiple traffic accidents. Roads were closed as authorities tried to round up the animals.

A search of the area quickly led police and animal control officers to the female brown cow, where it was cornered into a trailer off Chestnut Ridge Road. But the bull remained elusive under the cover of darkness. He was finally spotted near the Garden State Parkway Wednesday and surrendered without incident.

"It was quite the chase for quite some time," Carol said. "They're not easy to catch."

Once the escapees were apprehended, the cow and bull were each sentenced to life at Abma's Farm, where they will be part of the petting zoo. -via HuffPo Green
