Lackawanna police rounded up 150 sheep and goats that escaped from the new Ridge Rd. slaughterhouse. The animals would probably have suffered a better fate had they been allowed to run free to the nearby Tifft Farms Nature Preserve. The sheep were said to be trying to join their likeminded relatives in voting for Andrew Cuomo and Tim "Little Antoine" Kennedy...
The roundup was finished early this morning, but it wasn't the usual suspects Lackawanna police targeted.
An estimated 150 sheep and goats, as well as a couple of cows, escaped late Tuesday night from the Lackawanna Halal Market on Ridge Road, where animals are slaughtered according to Islamic tradition.
Police were notified shortly before 11 p.m. about loose animals near the market, Capt. Joseph Leo said. Officers found the sheep and goats roaming west along Ridge Road; one of the cows was stuck in a fenced-in area.Lackawanna police round up sheep, goats escaped from slaughterhouse - Lackawanna - The Buffalo News
So to recap, the Lackawanna police were credited with saving the lives of the 150 animals who were then immediately led to slaughter. Can you run that by me again?...
