Summary

Description Monument called "Sacred Cow Animal Rights Memorial," in Sherborn, Massachusetts. The memorial is dedicated to Emily the Cow, who died in 2004.

"In 1995, Emily the Cow escaped from a slaughterhouse in Hopkinton, MA by jumping a gate. During her 40 days eluding capture, Emily was aided by a sort of ad hoc underground railroad of townspeople. She found lasting refuge at Sherborn's 'Peace Abbey,' and became a charismatic spokescow, espousing a meat-free diet for humans. She didn't talk, but her huge eyes and friendly disposition inspired many who met her.

"When Emily died in 2004, her owners commissioned artist Lado Goudjabidze to sculpt a life-sized likeness to stand above her grave -- between statues of Mother Teresa and Gandhi. Emily was buried in April 2005, and the statue was dedicated soon after, on Earth Day.

"The statue is labeled as the 'Sacred Cow Animal Rights Memorial.'" [1]
