All right, we're about to get aggressive. >> Come on, you. >> You stupid. Get over here. >> The cops are trained for high-speed chases, dangerous criminals, and belligerent suspects. But all that training goes right down the drain when they have to wrestle a pig, hog tie an emu, or take an alligator out of Starbucks. And when law enforcement squares off with a quirky animal, we get some of the funniest police versus animal moments of all time. [music] >> Kevin, back up. Go back there. >> Kevin, we're going to be pals. No, we are not. >> Be advised, a peacock is not being compliant. When it comes to police calls, usually they involve victims, suspects, and the officers who get in between them. But on the 10th of July, 2025, the main culprit was a missing peacock named Kevin. A trooper faced off with the feathered perpetrator of a daring escape. And he was about to find out that when it comes to nature, humans are not the ones in charge. >> Is she on her way here? Okay. Where's she live at? >> To Salem, but she's on her way back. But she didn't get up to Salem. Yeah, that's him. Definitely. >> He was all the way on Black Road was the last sighting of him. >> Wow. >> So, >> he's probably been living it up back there. >> Something got in their barn, they said, and like scared him. >> Like a fox or something. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I wonder Oh, yeah. That thing's going to take off. I wonder if it's friendly. I somehow doubt it. >> Well, we usually give him blueberries and he doesn't. >> Did he come for the brownies? >> Yeah. I don't want it to go in the woods. >> Kevin the peacock had been missing for weeks. And who could blame him? After encountering a trash panda in the middle of the night, anybody [music] would have been spooked. Now the officer has to circle back and keep Kevin the peacock from going into the woods. Be advised, this is a lost peacock. Um, six has the owner in route. We're just going to try and keep it on the post property. >> Okay, I'll start for it. I don't need to call that DNR or anybody, do I? >> Negative. It's up. >> Is it in the woods? >> Oh, I see it. Hey, get back in the grass. Kevin, go back over there. I am a danger to you. You need to go the other way. Oh, big spiderweb. All right, Kevin, you need to go back to them. Kevin, do not come here. >> Oh, shoot. >> The rescue operation was not going like the trooper had hoped. When his initial attempts to reason with Kevin failed, he reverted back to his instincts, same as he would if he were directing traffic. >> Kevin, back up. >> Go back there. >> Kevin, dude, you need to What's your deal, bro? Will you let me pick you up? Kevin, back up. Scoot. Scoop back, Kevin. Be advised, a peacock is not being compliant. Get out of here. Oh my goodness. It is determined to be back here. Yeah. Kevin. Kevin. Bad peacock. Kevin, you got to go back there. Can't be back here. The trooper struggled to get through the brush and towards Kevin, and he was hoping to convince the peacock to get back out in the open. He tried different tactics, baiting the animal, then scaring it away, but nothing seemed to work. Kevin, you come here. You come here, Kevin. Come on. Come here. Come here, bro. Kevin, you got to go back towards the road. He's not really going anywhere. Oh, I'm gonna I might end up picking him up. >> Well, no, I did not. And it's just been a day like that. So, this is uh every day something new. Go on, Kevin. >> Oh, we got it. >> Well, now we need to get here. Kevin, come here, Kevin. Once the trooper managed to get the bird back in the open, he was content to just stand there and keep guard. As he waited for the owner, he made a few new friends and learned more about Kevin. And as far as Kevin went, he didn't seem to mind. >> Didn't expect this today, did you? >> Nope. But I never expect anything to happen. So, every day is just >> I guess >> it is. That's what I I was a teacher before this. >> No way. >> Yeah. Did you teach at >> I taught at Austin Town and then at Badger up in Kinsman. >> Kevin, you look good. >> Yeah, that's a good looking bird. >> 42. Go ahead. >> Bird County, the bird's name is Kevin. Might respond to that, >> right? We have Kevin complying again. >> Yeah. But anyway, when you guys pulled in, we were just kind of watching. We're like, what are they out with? And I was like, it must be a turkey. And it's like, that is blue. Is that a peacock? I mean, it it probably lives just like a We got turkeys that live all through here. You know what I mean? It probably >> Yeah, he's not thrilled. >> The family explained that Kevin was all over Facebook and everybody was looking for him. The owner's a veterinarian who, ironically enough, happens to run a bird sanctuary. It looks like Kevin had had enough of that and just wanted a night out. >> Okay. >> They run that um >> what's this? >> Raptor Hollow Bird Sanctuary. >> Oh, really? So, we have a lot of birds running around our >> house area with her. >> Man, I'm glad we found Kevin. >> Me, too. >> Well, he was in our driveway every day. >> Yeah. >> And they sound like cats. >> Not happening, dude. Now, can Kevin fly? >> Cuz turkeys can kind of trees. >> Yeah, just just like a turkey. Kevin, man, you got to chill. >> They had like six chickens and something else. They think a fox just pushed them out or something. >> Yeah, that's what they were saying. [music] I'm just trying to keep them out of the woods. Hey, we're cool, man. We're cool. >> Yes, I think it was raccoons that were trying to eat them right now. >> Yeah. I mean, if I was a fox or something. This is delicious looking. As the officer chatted with the neighbors, Kevin saw a chance to slowly walk away from his wouldbe captors. But the troopers keen eyes caught him right in the act and prevented him from disappearing yet again. >> Oh, Kevin's squaring up. Kevin's getting kind of tired of me being here. >> Slow down. >> 42. Be advised, Kevin is attempting to flee. >> Kevin, we going to be pals? No, we are not. You're not going back there. That's off limits. >> Hopefully Kaylin just comes off the grass. >> That would be funny is like we're all kind of afraid of this thing and she'll just come up and scoop him. Yeah. Kevin, chill out, dude. You're very pretty. Do you let me pet you? Maybe. No, you're not happy about that. Okay, don't fly. That would be bad. [laughter] Don't fly. Kevin. Uh-uh. We're not doing that. >> As far as the trooper went, he did a heck of a job keeping Kevin calm and cooperative. Shortly after, Kevin's owner finally showed up, and the trooper had some questions for her. The question on everyone's mind was, will she just come on over and scoop him? >> Hey, buddy. >> What are you doing up here? We got friends. >> Oh, Kevin is thrilled. I don't know where you're going. >> I don't know either. >> I don't know either. >> But we're gonna >> I can scoop him if you want, but >> that's essentially all I'm going to do is >> really >> I haven't thought about that yet. [laughter] >> I say I don't think we have handcuffs at all. Really? [laughter] Hey, >> buddy. You're okay. He knows what you're going. There we go. >> With a swift slide of the hand, the owner pounced on Kevin and caught him. Basically, she did what everyone thought of but didn't have the courage to do. The next question was, "What now?" >> Don't get spurred now, Kaitlin. Kaitlyn. >> Now, what? >> Can you take my picture? [laughter] >> Why? >> I don't have my >> We got to get it to Josh. She's so happy. >> Kevin is 73, >> you guys. >> Yeah, that's fine. >> All right. I didn't really do much. Oh, I'm stepping on you. >> Oh, that's okay. [laughter] >> Oh, that's so fun. >> Oh my gosh, I'm so excited. >> That is exciting. >> What are you going to do? >> I'm not sure yet. >> I can give her a ride. >> Yeah. So, someone Josie's just in the car. >> I'll take Joie. >> Yeah, that would be perfect. And then Hi, You take Joie home in her car and I'll take her home. >> I'm pretty sure he's been living back in here because that's where he wanted to go. >> That's what I saw. The first post was around here and then we got we had one other sighting a week ago and it was on Black Road. So, I think he just went right through like the [music] woods. >> Yeah. Hi, buddy. >> Ultimately, Kevin went back to his home and the trooper here learned some valuable lessons. If he ever had to square off with a runaway peacock again, his lessons would come in handy. If a non-compliant peacock didn't ruffle your feathers, just wait until you meet the next suspect. He's got razor sharp teeth, 80 of them, and he's capable of a death roll worthy of the WWE. Here's what happens when an alligator starts craving his morning coffee. >> A little baby. Little baby. >> Are you wrestling? No, >> you got tape. >> Yeah, I think the wrong way. >> He might be. You think we can grab him with the dog? >> Yeah, but we got to bring him pretty far. >> There's water right over there. >> There's water behind right behind the fire station, too. On the back side of the pad where the bait light is. >> Oh, there is. There's a pond in there. >> You think we could? >> What the hell? in Northport, Florida, after reports of an alligator roaming around a Starbucks drive-thru. through. The officers arrived at the location and found that the Northport Fire Rescue Team had already arrived. The plan they hatched was to try and use a dog noose to escort the alligator to safety. >> You ever use one of these? >> On a gator? No. On a dog? Yes. Easy. >> You stick that on over his head. [laughter] >> We're from Arcadia. >> You're from Arcadia, right? [laughter] >> Put that on it. >> I don't know. You think we could? >> Yeah. >> There's a pond over here we can walk him to. You got to get them around the head though, right? >> That's it. >> Here. You got to >> release it. Pull it out as far as it'll go. There you go. >> Wait, what part spins? >> No, basically nothing spins. >> This is the release. Once you get it, you yank that to bank it tight. >> Yeah, but he's going to death roll and he's going to like >> Yeah. >> In the state of Florida, having to occasionally deal with alligators is probably an occupational hazard for cops. But seeing how they weren't all that handy with that dog catching tool, maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all. >> I ain't no expert now. I just ain't going to >> Oh yeah, they're >> Hey, come on. I did not order you to do this. You're volunteering. [laughter] >> That's all I got. >> You seen it? Where's the one? There you go. >> Nicely done, my man. >> Nicely done. You should be able to hold him now with the pole. >> Yeah. Where do you want me to? >> You know what I'm saying? We're going that way to the pond. >> That way? >> Yep. >> Going Going that way. We're taking him to the FD. By the time the cops were ready to attempt the extraction, a few bystanders had gathered, filming the encounter and making jokes. The only one not having fun was that alligator, and he let them know it. >> Can I pet your dog? Is he friendly? >> We're going around behind behind the station. There's a pond. They're dinosaurs, man. >> I've seen I've seen him get run over by cars and and walk off. >> You doing all right, buddy? >> Oh, yeah. [laughter] >> That was slick, dude. The alligator couldn't do much about being dragged across the asphalt. And just as the officer committed his colleague for [music] a job well done, the reptile began to object. Perhaps he didn't manage to get his frappuccino yet. >> I just don't want him to take off. >> No, you did that like you've done it before. >> I ain't never been. >> See, you can't grab the pole because it doesn't have that swivel on it. So, I can't You can't control that. It'll slap it out of your hand. >> Oh, okay. >> Like the one near had one that spun. >> Okay. >> Where are we going over here? Yeah, there's a pond out there. [laughter] >> All right. Now, here's the here's the tricky part. >> Who's going to snap that release off? [laughter] >> You impress me. >> Just a standard day of North, right? >> Yeah. I'll send these to Josh so he can make you guys look good. Look better. [laughter] Look better than you already did. >> Once the gator got off the asphalt and started sliding on the freshly cut grass, it cooled off with the death rolls. Still though it was a challenge to drag him and slowly but surely the copier was running out of breath there behind. We're almost there. Don't be acting up. Don't act up. >> Huh? >> Oh, he's wore out now. Doer, you can jump on him and close his mouth when we get this thing off. >> Yeah, go ahead. I don't have any tape. [laughter] >> No, you don't need tape now. You just got to You just got to hold his mouth shut so I can >> Actually, the officer here wasn't joking. Alligators have very strong jaw muscles and not for just biting. When it comes to opening their mouths, those muscles are fairly weak. Therefore, you can usually hold their mouth shut. After which, in situations like this, they usually tape them up with electrical tape. All right. >> Can you sneak up behind and put your foot on his mouth? >> You ready? >> You ready? >> Yep. [laughter] >> Hang on. You all right? Good enough for me. Just work it. Work it. You know I got a pull. You got a pull? Yeah. >> Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Give it a little more slack and you got it. [snorts] >> All right. You got it. >> Oh, nice job. >> Bravest right there. >> After successfully getting the dog news [music] out of the alligator's mouth, they let him go back in the pond to resume his activities. Thankfully, during this encounter, none of the officers or the alligator got injured. They say alligators and crocodiles are the last remnants of dinosaurs. However, there's another creature that's just as ancient. It's a living fossil, and it might not be as intimidating as an alligator, but as you know by now, looks can be deceiving. >> Hang on, yellow costume on. I think it might be might say Liberty Insurance. >> [laughter] >> Oh, dude. I'm telling you, if it comes after me, I'm I'm shooting it. >> I don't know. I don't trust him, though. >> Up, >> bro. [snorts] >> What are you guys doing? >> It's an email. >> That's an email, [laughter] >> dude. I thought I was gonna have to run it over because the the people that live in this at this property come outside with their kid and it took off running at them. >> Oh no. >> It's one thing to lasso an unsuspecting baby alligator. But approaching a fast and unpredictable bird, nearly 6 ft tall with razor sharp claws at the end of its skeletal legs, it's no wonder the cops were ready to shoot. They called the owner in who'd been looking for the bird for days. And in the meantime, the cops tried to slowly corral the bird into the trailer. >> Watch his beak. >> Yeah, he's got reach. I thought he was going to come in the window at one point. >> Making a little >> Yeah, we're getting there, bro. We're about to get aggressive. >> Yeah, he's getting Oh, you get [clears throat] >> Oh god, >> all right. >> He's so fast. >> The officer was right. Emus can run up to 30 mph, and even Usain Bolt doesn't reach those speeds, let alone a bunch of cops with heavy gear on. But the main problem here was that this emu didn't appreciate being pushed around. >> Everybody back up and give him space. >> We're going to have to circle. We're have to circle back around wide. >> The feet the feet scaring him more than >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Don't Don't get up there. >> Yeah. >> You want us to try to get a panel and make a V and come with it? >> I think the more we pressure him, the more he's going to get upset. So, if we just leave it then >> Yeah. We'll just mess with him here and we'll see if we can give it a walk up there. And >> he just likes the pets. >> I'm thinking about it. >> Oh my gosh. There you go. >> There he is. [laughter] >> I know. He looks like >> when he like puffs up, I'm like, "Oh god. going to beat you. >> Yeah, the wild was like, "Well, man, we don't think it's necessarily a danger." >> Look at them things, dude. >> I know. That's why people call >> like a dinosaur. >> Once again, the cop wasn't mistaken at all. Based on what we know through science, birds descended from a small bipedal therapod, which is a Jurassic period dinosaur. Therefore, birds like emuse and ostriches still definitely retain many of the traits of their ancient ancestors. At this point, the scary thing here was how anxious the bird was getting. >> And uh >> Oh, we got the deputies here. We're trying to >> Hey, tighten yours up. >> Yeah. So, we can't accidentally hook him. >> I don't know what I should have done. >> Yeah. >> It's on the road. What? >> Hopefully. >> Hopefully they got >> scratch at the base of her neck. She'll drop >> really >> like on the front. >> Come here, Betty. >> Baby. >> Betty. Man, I met you at the courthouse before. You told me you had me and I'm like, there's no way. >> Come here. >> What the heck, dude? >> With one steady move of the hand, Betty was subdued by her owner. The cops here were stunned by how easy it was. Then, after a few moments of silence, they all began wondering, "What now?" As things turned out, the most difficult part was yet to come. And Betty's life hung in the balance. >> Well, >> now what? >> How can we help? >> Well, does anybody have a strap or a rope? >> Uh, >> because if she uh if her hips >> all she has to do is step and then I got to snap her neck because there's nothing they can do. Not even a vet will touch her. >> Huh? >> That'll work. I just got to wrap her legs up to her and I'll throw her back the truck. >> Does that work on all of them? Yeah, right here. >> Learn something new today. >> That'd be crazy. >> Cover [music] their eyes for a minute, lay their head down, >> and then draw a line, and they'll [music] sit there and stare at that line. >> They're just like a chicken. >> Pet them. >> I wish I'd have known that a half hour ago. >> Because they're mean. They can be mean. >> Oh, yeah. I read about them on the way out here. The most vital thing in the entire operation was making sure Betty didn't injure herself trying to run away. Getting her to lie down was pretty easy, but getting her to roll on one side while a human holds her and another one ties her up was something she clearly wasn't ready for. >> Betty, quit it. >> I'm not trying to be rude or nothing, but come on now. Don't be rude to me. No, buddy. Stop it. Just got to wrestle. >> Yeah. How can we help you? >> Nope. Quit. >> You just need her feet tied up. >> Yeah. Leg. >> Tighten that down next to the ground. Get them legs together. >> You're okay, buddy. >> Several several loops. Bring it. Give it to me here. Okay. There we go. That works. Want to get him? >> Yeah. >> All right. All right. I don't want to like choke her. >> That's all right. >> Okay. I'll just tie it off. >> You can't kill these things. I'm telling you. >> With the officer's help, Betty was secured. It was just one more day on the job and another lesson learned. As for the owner, he was very appreciative of the officer's help. With just one wrong move, everything could have ended very badly. You >> sure you still want to chuck her just a little bit? >> Oh, trust me, I do. I've been hunting for her for a week. >> Thank you, sir. I appreciate you so much. How far is she going then? >> Actually, you go through the woods right here. You're at my >> Really? Yeah. Oh, she get There you go. All right. Oh, wow. She got a lot. Uhhuh. I'm sorry, babies. >> This time she field kicked the freaking fence and knocked it over a panel. >> Really? Did she [music] ever peck? >> Yeah. She took off a chunk of my ear. >> Really? >> Right here when two years ago. >> That's I wonder cuz she she started looking like she was going to headbutt you. >> Really? I didn't get your name yet, man. I'm sorry. >> My name is Joe Blankip. >> Joe Blankip. Okay. No, you're good. I just want to make sure. >> I'm sorry to get everybody in up for me. >> After everything was over, perhaps it was a good thing that the owner shared his story. If the cops knew how close they were to losing a piece of their ears, they might not have been so relaxed about it. In Marquette, Wisconsin, the 18th of November, 2023 was the opening day of deer hunting season. The following day, the cops got a distress call and instead of hunting a deer, they needed to save one. >> Hello, sir. >> Warning. >> Yeah. You got any rope laying around? >> I'm going to go look. >> All right. >> Isn't this lovely? >> Yeah. >> I heard a boom and the dog started going nuts and he had he had to go to the bathroom >> and they were still barking. I said, "You didn't let them out." So, we let them out when they go to the bathroom here. They were way out there. >> What's up, big guy? >> We got a Pome Pomeranian, so they can't really >> I wonder how long he's been in here. >> Not when we He was in there long when we called. >> Okay. Well, we're going to see if we can get a rope around his antlers. And >> well, if push comes to shove, one of us will be getting wet, >> and that [music] will be cold. The woman didn't want to give the officers any false encouragement. Then, whether for the woman's own safety or to avoid being filmed as they accidentally fell into a frozen pool, the officer asked the woman to step inside. >> All right. Why don't you go back inside? We'll try to figure this out for you. Okay. >> Yeah. Good. Your [music] dispatcher was laughing. >> I bet she was. We were all >> I got to call her. All right. >> Well, [music] you got you got gloves. >> Yeah, I got some gloves. >> The old tow strap, huh? >> Well, why don't you go back inside in case this gets a little squirly here. >> I'd like to make a loop, but if he comes out, we're going to have to unloop him, and he's probably going to be a pain in the ass. He's going to be really upset. Yeah. >> Yeah. Not yet. I wonder if it is something where he's sick and he's trying to get to water, right? >> But >> not well, >> right? He does not look well. >> The white-tailed deer seemed to be exhausted or maybe even ill. [music] While there were no visible wounds on the animal, the officer did see signs that the deer had been fighting, presumably with another stag. >> All right, big guy. Don't. >> Maybe you can try not whipping them, but maybe whipping. >> Yeah. >> No, that's He's going to Come here. What I'm doing? Is he a horse? You know. Yep. Go the other way. Gone. [music] Gone. Yeah. He's in ice, too. He's probably cold. Is this all? Yeah, he'll be able to jump the fence. But >> yeah, there you go. Go back the other way, buddy. >> We have external lights all the >> I got to get him closer. >> Yeah. Push him this way, Emma. Even though the pool was slightly frozen, the deer hadn't been in the freezing water for too long. The hope was they could get him out of there quick enough before the hypothermia set in. >> Wrong way, right? >> Yep. >> Oh, yeah. >> Their hair is actually uh >> Yeah, it's It has air spaces in it. Wrong way, dog. Oh my gosh. No, other way. >> All right. >> Yep. Keep him going that way. Emma, >> we'll stay right behind it. He'll move. There we go. Oh, there we go. Can you move this way so we can Yeah, he's cold. I don't know how I'm going to do this, I guess. While a tow strap isn't very good for making a noose, the officer did manage to make a loop wide enough to slide over the deer's antlers. By that point, they'd pointed a flashlight at the deer's eyes, limiting the animals vision. It was the perfect moment. Hello buddy. Right. Oh, this leg gets caught here. There we go. Keep pulling up. Come on. I was conf >> with some muscle work, they finally managed to pull the deer out of the pool. Once he was free, they removed the strap from the animal's horns, step back a bit, and let him run. Let's see if the worn out buck can find his way out. >> All right, let him go. Let him go. Go, go, go, go. Get out of here. >> Cool. >> Yeah, please. Just careful. He's >> here. Wait, wait, wait. Come over this way. We're going to crown back towards your open gate. So, come over here, Emma. You make sure he doesn't go in the pool again. There you go. >> As the officers slowly tried to move the animal toward the open gate, the lights on the fence were working against them. The deer couldn't see the gate, and it didn't know where to go, but slowly they managed to point him in the right direction. >> Come on, dude. Go. Go. Nope. There we go. Holy man, that's >> that's a new one for me. >> Well, >> well, good thing we didn't have to get wet. >> Yeah, we didn't get by any jump in. So, good day. >> Oh, incredible. >> Welcome to my county. >> What in the world? >> My last call just hearded a cow and now I'm doing this. I already got a call pretty soon. >> An hour ago. >> In the end, the deer extraction went pretty smoothly considering nobody on scene had any prior experience saving a deer that was stuck in a pool. That being said, if it was a full-grown cow in the pool, it would have been a completely different [music] story. Speaking of cows, Marquette County wasn't the only county having issues with wild and domestic animals running loose. On November 17th, 2025 in Ohio, the cops had a very strange task. There was a runaway cow running down I270, which begs the question, where's a trained cowboy when you need him? >> Bam. Yeah. Here. >> Easy, easy, easy, easy, >> easy. Here. >> You know how to lass up? >> If we can get this on when it's in the pen, we'd be all right. We have a couple guys all around. We run her back in. But once it's in there, we have people around the outside. We'll get her. There. >> Even a medium-sized cow like this one could weigh up to 1,000 lb. Not to mention the horns on a cow could do plenty of damage. While the cops here had plenty of training, they clearly hadn't been trained like cowboys. >> A little tighter this this time. [music] >> Here, here. Here. [music] >> [music] >> Hold it for you. You wrestle this thing to grab. Running [music] after a cow in a ditch next to a highway was certainly not in the cop's job description when they signed up for law enforcement. However, it is pretty good cardio running in full gear like that. And it was also pretty good training for them just in case they had to chase another cow down. >> [music] >> Stop. Oh, perfect. It's not going to bite you. The funny thing was that the only cop who said that was the same one who flinched when the cow turned on him just a few minutes ago. And even funnier was the fact that even though cows aren't the fastest animals out there, this one managed to outrun an entire squad of officers. Can't loose. All right, I had it. In cattle country, lassoing an animal should be an essential part of police training. It might have saved these cops a whole lot of trouble. Luckily, after realizing the highway was no fun, the cow decided to return to the grass. The cops here might get one last shot at that lassoing thing. Hold it up. [music] >> Trying to get it there. >> I had it. just leave it in one spot. >> The officers didn't try to approach the cow for a while, and most likely they didn't want to have to run after it again. They instead decided to wait for some help. Hopefully from someone who knew about runaway cows, maybe even a farmer. >> Here they got grain wagons and horses. That's what I want to go with. >> We keep the tank and not go on the other side of highway or >> how' this thing get loose. >> Wagon jumped out. If it starts running again, I'm going to try to lasso its feet and just pull it and yank it to the ground. We can go up there, tie it up. >> As the saying goes, brains over wrong. The cops here were helpless until somebody suggested offering the cow some food. The cow, later identified as Marieold, somehow managed to calm down enough to be returned to the trailer she'd slipped out of earlier. Eventually, she was safely returned to her owners. >> If she swings back, I'm bailing. [laughter] >> Those horns look sharp. >> Saving Miraold was taxing, but it was nothing compared to our next story, which is a boine rescue operation. On the 7th of January, 2026 in Lewon, New York, the cops responded to a fire at a local farm, which had engulfed a barn with tractors and cows. >> What a day. >> I'm familiar with the uh farmer here. He just ran to get another tractor out. There are fuel tanks behind this bar here. The cows are in there. He's So he's real upset. >> Oh my god. It's going to be fully engulfed. Cows are still trapped. >> Fully engulfed with cows trapped. >> The cows are in there. >> Whole thing is full of straw. >> Anything else? >> No, I mean the fuel tanks on the two tractors in the back. Them cows are all burning in there. >> We got fire. with you, brother. >> What the >> Why is every everything around a place? Why is everything burning? I can't even get the tractors out. It's so full of smoke. Okay, >> the toes are all >> Are they all on the front? >> They're on the other side with the front. >> There's a building that comes off like this and they're in. >> As far as the farmer went, he was visibly distraught and rightfully so. His barn was on fire, threatening to destroy his entire livelihood. All the man's machinery was trapped in thick smoke, and most likely his livestock would die an agonizing death. >> Can we get close? >> I can't see. >> Where are the cows? >> Watch that power line. >> You guys want to get this equipment out? >> He can. He can. Get it started. >> You got another tractor that runs >> tow train Mike. >> [ __ ] house. They're right in the front of this building. We're not going to get in there. >> They're penned in right there. We could walk through, but >> right there. >> Yeah, but there you'd have to walk all the way through. Can go around the other side, but we're not going to get on the other side with that fire there. >> Oh my god. There's no way that they're >> barn's fully involved at this moment. Cows are still trying to sight. >> Thinking the cows were dead already, the cops were focused on helping the owner pull the tractors out of the barn. As it was incredibly cold outside, most of them wouldn't start as they were running on diesel. However, as they were trying to hook the chains to one of the tractors, one of the cops saw something moving out front. >> [screaming] >> Oh, I wonder I can see the movement. Wow. >> Oh my god. It's right there. >> Where is it? >> Do you see it here? Look. Look. >> Oh, >> I don't know. I don't know if it's safe to go any farther. >> It's stuck. >> Be careful. >> Are there any over there, Ty? >> Yeah, they're all right here. >> Oh my god. Coming. The cops managed to pull the railing out of the way to try and free the cows. But still though, there were several chains holding it in place, and the only cow that was free to move did not want to leave its herd. >> You got it. You got it. Okay. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh my god. Oh my god. >> Come on. >> Come on. Come on. This way. This way. This way. >> Hey. Come on. >> Come on. Come on. I know. You got to leave him. >> Come on. That's cool guy. Come on. >> I can't get it. >> They're pressed up against us. I need to get this push up. Come on. >> I need bolt cutters. Hurry. >> Once they realized that they couldn't move the railing, the cops ran outside to look for bolt cutters. It was the fastest way to cut the chainsaw and give the cows a chance to escape the inferno. However, finding a tool like that proved to be a difficult task. >> Cutters are full cutter. Full cutter. >> They're all right here. >> Cracks the back of the barn. >> They're all right here. How they stay back here has cutters. He's coming to you now. >> Time forward. >> We got to hurry. Oh my eyes. >> They're in your car in the back. Okay. Heading for the house next door. I'm on my way back. From the house next storm. On my way back. >> Hurry up. >> Hurry. Oh my god. Keep an eye out of that roof. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. >> Oh my god. Come on, sweetie. Come on. >> It's okay. >> Come on. >> Come on. Come on. You got it, bud. Come on. This way. No. No. NO. NO. THIS WAY. >> It's okay. She's going to come out. >> No. She's going into the fire. >> Waiting for those bolt cutters must have felt like an eternity. In the meantime, the female officer tried to find something else they might use. That being said, trying a chain off isn't as easy as it seems. >> Come on, girl. Come on. >> Can I try to use this shovel? >> Is not going to do. We need both clutch. >> It's okay. It's okay. >> Right here. Right here. >> Right here. Right here. Watch out. One's free. >> No, no, no. That's not going to do anything. This top one. This top one. Oh my god. >> This one doesn't want to come out. >> There you go. >> Cut the other side. Right here. Right here. Cut the other. No. No. Here. Get him up. Get him up. Get him up. Open him up. Push. Come on. >> One more. Let's go. >> One more. I got it. There we go. >> Once the rails were out of the way, the cows were free to move around. Luckily, most of the cows headed straight for the exit. However, some of the cows got spooked by unfamiliar faces and needed some persuasion. >> [screaming] >> Come on. >> Come on. >> Come on. >> Yeah. >> Let's go. >> Come on. >> Come on. YOU >> STUPID. GET OVER IT. >> Come on. >> Come on. >> Come on. >> One more. >> Yeah. >> Come on. Come on. >> Come on. Hey. You got a pinch above you. Right behind the tractor right there. >> You got it. You're good. [screaming] >> 274 274. All cows are free. 112. >> In a daring and smokef fil and adrenaline-packed move, the officers managed to save every last cow. When they finally stepped outside, they couldn't hold back their excitement and pride. After all, everything turned out better than expected. >> You guys good? >> Oh, yeah. >> What's up, man? >> Okay. >> Hey, job. Good job. >> Come Come on, you're the last one. Get out of here. Hey guys, guys, just come on over here. >> There he goes. >> Almost lost my cool there. >> Yeah, I saw it. >> I heard you yelling. >> It was like that that it was going to happen or just watch >> watch them. So glad you saw they were alive. >> I was like, "Okay, they're dead." I feel really bad for them. I'm really And I was like, "Okay." And then you come around the corner. And I'm like, "Wait a second. You guys are moving equipment." And I see a tail. >> I'm like, "How is it alive on you guys?" >> I'm like, "How is it alive right now?" >> Oh man. >> They managed to get themselves in that corner. He The way he explained it, I thought they were in the front. So, >> thank you for getting those if you didn't get those. >> Oh, yeah. But you know what? You guys are willing to go in for house. I was like, "We're getting equipment out." >> The most amazing thing about the situation was that the officers thought that the animals had died from fire exposure or smoke inhilation. If that one cow hadn't wagged its tail just as the officer was looking, we would have had a very different ending. People say someone can be as stubborn as a cow. But as far as animals go, they're not the only stubborn ones out there. On the 26th of December, 2023 in Columbus, Ohio, the cops learned that lesson. This is the call that got [music] it all started. >> There's a huge pig. It lives next door. It broke the fence down. I got on. >> Did you say a huge pig or a kid? >> A pig. Pig. P I >> All right, Ellen. I'm going to get um some officers out there for that pig that's in your backyard breaking things. >> What the hell? All right, FTO office, just to set the stage for you. [laughter] Young officer Booth got a pig. Urban New Jersey. >> Yeah. [laughter] >> It's about to go rest on his first pig. >> It's going to be epic. >> Stand by. >> My daughter's friends. >> Yeah. >> But they're not. They're at the zoo right now. So, we're trying to get it into our yard. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I don't know how I'm going to go about moving. >> Well, we got her. We got it. We got it this far. >> Yeah, look out. They'll they'll charge you. Come on. >> Come on. >> The officer's first encounter with the pig did not go well. His colleague appeared to be braver, likely because the pig had his back to him. He tried a different approach, which was a bit more hands-on. >> He's from Indiana. Of course he is. [laughter] >> Usually, they'll walk right with you if you can get in there vision. No, I'm not getting. >> Come on, let's go. >> Priscilla the pig. >> And they're on their way. >> It's a pig. They're a food. >> She said it follows food. So, we're going to try. >> No, no, no. [laughter] >> I got kids. I know. They fight. Wait. So why we should be taking it that way? >> This one's pretty. >> So she lives down that way, correct? >> Yeah. We're going to get in the garage. >> Oh, so you guys are going to put it in your garage. >> Put it in our yard and so they can get her home inside because she's indoor outdoors type thing. I don't know. Indoor >> indoor outdoor. >> You keep this thing in the house. Yeah, not me, but they do. >> After getting her a little bit down the path, the pig here, Priscilla, got distracted by some grass. And from that point, it was clear the situation was going to need more drastic measures. In this case, it was a combination of wrestling with the pig and baiting her with food. >> There you go. >> But I let her have a couple. >> She's a good girl. This is not what I wanted to do. Neither are we going to >> this on the corner. >> Yes. [laughter] >> I've only spoke to them like once or twice, so I don't know if they'd be okay. >> I can see the Come on. Come on. Come on. She's not give me another one. >> Come on. No. No. No. Come on. Walk forward. >> Priscilla seemed to be just fine with munching on snacks from the neighbor's hands, but also she didn't seem inclined to walk all that much. Clearly, the cops here were having an interesting day at work, and it just kept getting better. >> I just stepped in dog crap. >> I don't like to pick it up when they walk around. Go this way. >> Get on this side over here. >> The knee right behind shoulder blade will often times get or you could just run away or >> that's not going to work on her. >> I She might break that leash. >> [laughter] >> No, no, no, no. >> This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever imag Yeah. She'll tear one of those fences up. It's too big. >> Come on, get going. >> The one thing that stood out in the whole situation is how dedicated the neighbors were to keeping Priscilla safe and getting her home. Luckily enough, one of the neighbors [music] had some experience with pigs. >> Usually, they walk them with canes. >> They just walk this dog, this dog, this pig around the neighborhood. >> They they just walk with canes. I used to raise. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. >> So, you seem pretty comfortable with it. >> Yeah. >> They're easy. Come on. Just stubborn and big. Come on. >> You're all right. Come on. It's a long walk for you, huh? Come on. >> Come on. Come on. Follow me. Come on. >> Hey, sweetheart. What are we doing here? >> You excited? No time for your [cough] mom to be at the zoo, huh? >> Go get Patty while she follow Patty. >> Yes, we have two. >> There's two in the neighborhood. >> Well, there's one right outside up here. It's Patty. And she's she's probably every bit this size, but she's super docile. Priscilla might have been as docel as her friend Patty, but most likely she was about twice as stubborn. Because the officers here were completely out of their depth, all they could do was watch as more neighbors stepped in to help. >> What' I tell you? >> No. No. >> You're not going this way. That's America. Now I'm mad. Go >> go. >> Too late. >> Oh yeah, you don't want to do that. She'll do that. >> Yeah, I heard. I'm not sure how well that's going to go. girl. >> I hear your brother yelling for you. >> Good girl. >> Good girl. >> Remember the decorations. Once they made it to the porch, the officers wondered if such a cumbersome creature could even make it up the stairs. That being said, one of the neighbors assured them that it was one of her favorite spots. >> She likes to try and get her then close the gate. >> Come on, Priscilla. >> Come on. >> She's going to root for a second. >> Bash her head in, please. >> Oh, I'm not. >> There you go. [music] Good girl. >> Good girl. >> Good girl. Girl, go on. Come on. >> Oh, good girl. >> Good girl. >> There you go. >> Good girl. >> As far as the good neighbors in Columbus, Ohio went, they'd struggled to keep Priscilla from entering people's yards and causing further damage. And as far as Priscilla went, she didn't appreciate the humans pushing her around. [laughter] >> [laughter] >> I don't know. [laughter] >> [laughter] >> I have no idea. >> The owner got back from the zoo and felt incredibly embarrassed by the whole situation. Thankfully, nobody held it against her. Nobody had been hurt and it was a nice opportunity for all the neighbors to gather as a community. The most important thing was that Priscilla was back home.
