Cows Escape Farm on Belt Parkway in Queens, New York; One Cow Still Missing
In a surprising turn of events, a herd of cows escaped from a local farm on the Belt Parkway in Queens, New York earlier today, causing a commotion on the busy highway. The cows, numbering about a dozen, were spotted on the loose just after midday, with drivers calling 911 to report the animals roaming on the side of the road.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) and the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) were quickly dispatched to the scene to contain the situation. Most of the cows were corralled and returned to the farm with the assistance of the NYPD’s Emergency Services Unit. However, one cow remains unaccounted for and is still on the loose.
“We are grateful to the NYPD and DEC for their quick response and assistance in getting the majority of these cows safely back to their farm,” said the owner of the farm, who wished to remain anonymous. “We are currently investigating how the cows managed to escape and are taking steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”
The Belt Parkway was delayed closed in both directions while the cows were being rounded up, causing delays for motorists. The highway has since been unclogged, and traffic is back to normal.
The community is on high alert as the search for the missing cow continues. The NYPD and DEC are working together to locate the animal and bring it back to safety. Social media users have taken to Twitter to share updates and information about the missing cow, and the hashtag #LostCowOnTheBeltParkway was trending.
In conclusion, a herd of cows made a break for freedom on the Belt Parkway in Queens today, but thanks to the quick response of local authorities, most of the cows were safely returned to their farm. However, one cow remains missing, and the search is ongoing. The cause of the escape is under investigation.
