Escaped Newark Bull Finds Online Stardom and Safe Sanctuary

Ricardo, a red Texas Longhorn, gained social media fame after escaping onto the tracks at Newark Penn Station. The bull's striking appearance and defiant stance made him an instant star. After being apprehended, Ricardo was taken to Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue in New Jersey. The sanctuary is home to several other escaped farm animals, including the famous Canarsie calf and Freddie the bull. Some were not amused by Ricardo's escape, including a representative from a nearby slaughterhouse. The sanctuary opens for tours on May 15.
