Police have retrieved a flock of around 150 animals who escaped from a halal slaughterhouse in New York last Tuesday. Amongst the escapees were sheep, goats and cows, all of which were due to be slaughtered in the traditional halal style.
Police spent a few hours rounding up the animals, with the help of a couple of narcotics officers and some local residents.
The owner of the halal slaughterhouse says he believes the escape was caused by a break-in, however police blame the incident on an employee failing to properly secure the door.
