A young calf named Stewie caused quite a stir in Brooklyn this week after escaping from a slaughterhouse and running through the streets.

Videos captured the four-month-old calf evading cars and people as he tried to avoid capture. Eventually, he was caught and returned to the slaughterhouse, but a New Jersey-based animal sanctuary called Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue decided to intervene.

The sanctuary made a public appeal for Stewie's release, and supporters flooded the slaughterhouse with calls. The slaughterhouse eventually agreed to let the sanctuary take Stewie in.

In a video shared on social media, Skylands founder Mike Stura can be seen welcoming Stewie to the sanctuary, where he'll join a community of other rescued animals. According to the sanctuary's website, all of the animals there are given a safe place to live out their lives in the company of others of their kind.

Stewie's story is sure to make him a beloved addition to the sanctuary's family.
