Residents near Six Flags Fiesta Texas recently expressed concern over the health of a longhorn cow, described as noticeably thin, prompting action from local authorities. According to MySanAntonio, the Bexar County Sheriff's Office was alerted by citizen reports and its Special Enforcement Unit, known for addressing animal-related issues, was deployed to investigate the situation.
Upon the unit's arrival, they identified a trio of longhorn cattle consisting of different generations within the same family, these concerns were initially raised on Friday, by a TikTok user named papercloudscreative who claimed the animals were "mistreated" and "no access to food," the video has since gone viral with over 300,000 views. A thorough examination revealed that the elder of the group, a grandmother cow, was indeed thinner than the rest, yet the mother and daughter were found to be in normal condition, the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, according to MSN, reassured the community that animal welfare is a top priority.
San Antonio Animal Care Services had previously monitored the longhorns and noted that a city veterinarian had already assessed the cows, affirming that despite the grandmother's slimmer appearance, she was not in any distress or pain. The animal's condition was linked to its age and, as revealed in a statement by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, there were sufficient resources like feed and water available in the enclosure, as reported by MSN.
To ensure the well-being of the senior longhorn, Deputy Saul Adame, as part of the precautionary measures taken by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office went beyond the call, providing the aging cow with some additional grain this shows an extended level of care from the officials.
