Jon Stewart just rescued a runaway bull named Frank
An Angus bull named Frank Lee (after an Alcatraz escapee) was being transported to a Jamaica, New York, slaughterhouse on Friday when he decided he had other plans. Frank darted out of a truck and headed for a green space at York College.
He was captured, tranquilized, and transported to a hospital, but not brought back to the slaughterhouse. Why? Daily Show veteran Jon Stewart came to the rescue.
Stewart and his wife, Tracey, agreed to bring the bull to their New Jersey animal sanctuary. After a checkup including castration (sorry, Frank), the steer will spend the rest of his life at a 175-acre facility in New York.
