NEW YORK -- Winston escaped death to find a piglet's paradise.

The little piggy found wandering this summer along a bustling Queens boulevard is among hundreds of animals – including cows, sheep, goats and chickens – that apparently managed to flee in recent years from New York City's growing number of urban slaughter markets.

Escaping to the streets amid honking cars and busy pedestrians comes with a beautiful reward for those lucky enough to survive: a trip to an animal sanctuary in the wide open spaces north of the city where they can live out their days without fear of becoming someone's dinner.
