After 2 months on the run, Barney the Long Island bull was rescued

(AP) — The great bull hunt on Long Island is now over. And the animal that escaped from a farm and eluded searchers for two months has been captured. Authorities say the 1,500-pound bull, named “Barney”, was captured late Wednesday by staffers with the Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue. Photos from the sanctuary show the bull on a bed of hay inside a trailer. Officials say Suffolk County police used drones and helicopters to help find the bull, which broke through the fence of a farm in Moriches back in July.
