Yvonne, a cow who escaped from a slaughterhouse in Austria last year, will be the subject of an animated feature film in 2014. Cow on the Run, the film’s tentative title, will center around Yvonne, who was raised on a farm in Austria and shipped to a slaughterhouse in Germany last August. She escaped by crashing through an electrified fence, and spent three months eluding both police armed with tranquilizers and animal-rights activists who hoped to capture her. Yvonne was eventually caught, and taken to Gut Aiderbichl animal sanctuary in Bavaria, where she now lives.
