NEWARK, NJ — On Thursday December 14th, a Texas longhorn steer captured the hearts of people throughout the tri-state area and animal lovers everywhere. The bull, named Ricardo, wandered onto the train tracks at Newark Penn Station while police officers and animal rescue workers attempted to safely corral him.
Ricardo was safely captured and transported to Skylands Animal Sanctuary & Rescue in Sussex County where he was seen by a veterinarian and is now resting comfortably.
