Oklahoma City Animal Welfare Cautions Public During State Fair About Loose Livestock

The Oklahoma State Fair is underway, prompting the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare (OKCAW) to remind residents and fairgoers to be vigilant for loose livestock. The fair, known for its exciting attractions and farm animals, draws significant community participation.

OKCAW encourages anyone who spots an animal wandering unsupervised to avoid approaching it. Instead, they should contact animal control for assistance at 405-297-2255. The agency emphasized the importance of ensuring all animals return to their rightful owners, noting that while some animals may appear friendly, they can behave unpredictably when in unfamiliar surroundings.
