This Tuesday, Jefferson, a beef steer intended for slaughter, made a bold escape from a Detroit slaughterhouse. Please take some time to write or call the slaughterhouse and urge them to give the animal up to SASHA Farm sanctuary. Details from the PETA action alert:

On Tuesday, December 2, a steer made a daring escape from a slaughterhouse in Detroit, Michigan. The 1,800-pound animal ran through busy city streets, shocking passersby, in a desperate fight for his life. He was eventually quarantined in a vacant lot and tranquilized by a veterinarian. The steer is now being held at a farm while the slaughterhouse decides his fate.

A Michigan animal sanctuary, SASHA Farm, has offered the steer a home. We want the slaughterhouse to relinquish custody of the steer to the sanctuary. The local community has rallied behind the steer, and many are raising money in hopes of buying him, but we’ve asked the slaughterhouse to give him to SASHA Farm for free. We don’t think the slaughterhouse deserves a dime.

Please call slaughterhouse officials to ask them to do the right thing by giving the steer to SASHA Farm:
