Animal Magnetism or Leap of Faith ?

I came across an interesting bit of news from a local paper the other day. It was about a two year old calf that made its escape from an abattoir in Mumbai, India by attacking its owner and bolting out into a scrapyard, remaining there until help arrived. Apparently, it was due for slaughtering by its owner to celebrate the Muslim Holy Day which happened to fall on January 1st, 2007. Somehow, it instinctively new that its life was about to come to an end and through a leap of faith, took destiny into its own "horn" and miraculously saved its own hide. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals came to know of it and adopted the calf which now found a new home in the comfort of the animal shelter. It kind of reminds me that destiny can pan out differently if we took the bulls by the horn so to speak and make the plunge when the odds seems stacked against us. Miracles do happen just when we thought our fate is sealed if only we take actions despite the worst of circumstances. Sometime an attacking strategy is the best defense strategy! You know what? The new caretaker of the calf has even found a nickname for its new charge - George W. Bush! Do you see any familiar connection?
