Cow On The Loose Still Eluding Police

A cow has wandered from the West End through University Heights to Clifton since 7:15 a.m. and eluded police attempts to corner him with their cruisers.
The SPCA tried to slow down the cow with a tranquilizer dart, but it didn't take effect, News 5's Amy Wagner reported.
At 9:30 a.m., Wagner reported the cow was in a ravine behind Deaconess Hospital in Clifton. The SPCA was preparing to take another shot at tranquilizing it.
The cow escaped from a slaughterhouse on Linn Street and walked down residential streets and sidewalks and through yards.
It meandered down Straight, McMillan and Ravine streets, wandering in and out of traffic and slipping through whenever police cars tried to pen him in.
At 8:30 a.m., it stood for a few minutes in a yard next to an apartment building, then bolted into a wooded area.
Some officers left their cars and followed the cow on foot.
Three years ago, another cow jumped a 6-foot slaughterhouse fence and became a national celebrity by hiding out in Storm Park for 11 days.
Once it was finally captured, the cow was spared when artist Peter Max offered to adopt it and donated $180,000 worth of artwork to the Hamilton County SPCA.
The cow, named Cinci Freedom, lives on Max's farm in upstate New York.
