It was not immediately clear where they’d come from. They were estimated to be under 1 year old.

Mounted police and the NYPD’s emergency services units “safely wrangled them up,” according to the department.

The eight rescued animals were taken to the New York City Animal Care Centers in Brooklyn.

The NYCACC later said that the animals had subsequently been sent to Skylands Sanctuary in Wantage, New Jersey, about 70 miles away.

The shelter specializes in animals rescued from slaughterhouses and live markets as well as neglect, abuse and abandonment, according to its website.
