Cop Spends 8 MONTHS Trying To Catch An Escaped Beefalo | The Dodo Comeback Kids

Sponsored by GEICO.
Police Captain Ed spent ALL his free time trying to rescue an escaped beefalo named "Buddy" in Connecticut. He tried night vision goggles, a drone, and even hid for hours in a trailer. It was all worth it when Buddy was finally rescued and brought down to Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary in Florida.

[@phylliscurtner5578]

I love how happy this officer is that Buddy made it to the sanctuary, thank you for helping him make it to a safe home! This happened at a meat packing plant in NJ about 15 years ago. A cop cornered him and the bull gave up and ended up with the bull's head in his lap and the bull just sighed and gave up. That cop made sure he got to a sanctuary too. This is when I stopped eating meat. They can smell the blood in packing plants and know they are going to be slaughtered. They just want to live too.

[@misspad7282]

I remember when that happened. Good for the ones that get away and are sent to sanctuaries, but so sad for the millions that don't get that opportunity. Nuts, beans, lentils and mushrooms are just as tasty. No more meat for me.

If you are interested,look up what happened,oh,I think it was the early years of the 20th Century. The caves of Lascaux provided the look of the wild aurochs,and some American ranchers decided to try to breed back and recreate the wild animal from existing breeds. The last true aurochs was killed in Poland in the 17th C,I think. Using such as Mexican fighting bulls,longhorns and other,a program was established. It happened much faster than anticipated. When one program recreated size and shape,another recreated coat colour. When the two were crossed,when the animals hit adulthood,bang that was it. Intelligent,very large,they were killers. Attacking just about anything that moved. The behaviours of the wild aurochs were to protect the herd by attacking anything other.The recreated critters behaved similarly. Cowboys on horses were a target for their horns,not something that could move within a herd. The program had to be stopped,the animals shot. So Buddy being a beefalo had enough wild mix to make him stubborn,he got what he wanted,a herd. And survival.Good for him. We need reminders of the long centuries it took to breed cattle that could be around humans.

That’s really sad that police officer has ptsd from being a first responder at sandy hook.. he seems like a wonderful man as well. Thank you everyone for rooting for buddy and saving him!

[@melodiefrances3898]

I would have ptsd from that too. It would be hard enough with adult victims, but children would be more than many of us could handle 😢

[@namehere4954]

Time never heals wounds. Dealing with and processing trauma heals wounds. Any position that has huge trauma with it - police, fire, ambulance, military, ER doctor, etc. - should have EXTENSIVE therapy/counseling services and most unfortunately don't.

Every aspect of this story is beautiful and heart-warming. I’m so glad Buddy was on the run around such gentle people.

[@SeattleRaindrop206]

I love coming back to watch this one! Seeing the transformation, from the total and utterly palpable fear in Buddy’s eyes to a happy and giddy bull @ 11:12…. His ecstatic buck and run into the pasture says it all! He’s so happy and blessed. His will to survive, and the good samaritans around him allowed this lovely story to unfold. 🥰 Long live Buddy! 🥂 🍾 🍻

[@SeattleRaindrop206]

……Long live Buddy, AND his girlfriends! 👯‍♀️ 🐄 🐮

[@michelefisher5171]

I’m so happy you didn’t try to find the slaughter truck he came off of. It’s only fair if animals happen to get off a slaughter truck they are automatically free for ever! Thanks to all involved.

So TRUE!!! He was smart enough to escape, would of been terrible to send him back... Unfortunately, very few escape & they are all innocent! Wish more people could think of Buddy & others like him before chomping down on next order of burger & fries! 🐮

[@teresamoscatelli239]

We should protect the weak. Humans do it with other humans, so what about the other cows who couldnt escape? Many are pregnant or babies

[@meganjones1326]

Buddy is an amazingly brave smart bull, i think its amazing how the town stuck together to help him,even at his pwn pace, im glad he got away and found safety, its amazing how everyone worked together to help a scared animal, it definitely made me tear up knowing he is safe and happy with other bulls and animals to interact with rather than being alone. Such a beautiful story. Hope Buddy enjoys the rest of his happy life with his friends.

[@pickingwilddaisies945]

I love that they didn’t just shoot him! Much respect to all of these cops/wildlife people! 👏🏻 restores a tiny bit of my faith in humanity And I respect Buddys will to live 💜

Buddy sees the police uniform and he started running again. 😂 Must be he thought he was in trouble again. Some animals definitely have a much greater survival instinct than others. Buddy is a smart guy. He looks good laying on the ground relaxing.
