Steer on the loose for two months in Boston now seeking a new home
Published in Weird News
(UPI) A steer on the loose in the Boston area for two months was finally captured and is now seeking a new home, animal rescuers said.
The bovine was first spotted June 22 in the Roslindale neighborhood and was initially reported to be a cow, before Boston Animal Care and Control clarified that the animal was a bull.
BACC said the animal resurfaced Aug. 20 and was finally captured Tuesday when officials used food to lure him into a pen.
The MSPCA's Equine and Farm Animal Rescue Team took the bovine to the organization's Nevins Farm facility, where they discovered he was actually a steer.
The steer, now named Moodini, is underweight and officials are aiming to help him gain about 50 pounds.
"He is also a bit skeptical of humans right now, which makes sense given he's been having a feral king summer," the MSPCA said on social media. But we know he will open up and be a great addition to the right family.
