BENJY, THE GAY bull who was saved from the slaughterhouse by Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon, will tomorrow be picked up to be brought to his new home on an English farm.
Benjy’s days looked numbered when he showed more interest in bulls than heifers and a Mayo farmer looked to cut his losses.
But an online campaign by animal rights group Aran and the Hillside Animal Sanctuary raised €5,000 to bring him to the Norfolk home for animals in need.
Tomorrow, Benjy will be collected from his current plot in Claremorris and loaded onto a trailer that will cross the Irish Sea and the Pennines to the English east coast.
Aran says that one of their campaigners will be there to see Benjy off and present him with a “one way ticket to freedom”.
The sanctuary itself is home to dogs, horses, sheep, pigs, fowl and more so Benjy won’t be lonely. There is also cattle there but their sexual orientation is unknown.
Safe trip Benjy.

Fair dues to the farmer for conning 5000 out of the animal rights loons instead of the 1500+ he was worth in the factory.
Fools and their money and all that.
Take care of your shoulder there with that huge f@cking chip on it
Looking at the pics of him he’s not worth 1500, I wouldn’t even let him near cows
Eh how do the know he is gay? Maybe the cows were ugly? Hmmmm
I thought it was his boyfriend who was the gay one
The farmer produced a photo of the two of them holding hoofs behind the bushes ….
too right how did they establish that the bull was gay did he come out of the closet fu**in world is gone mad no pun intended but bullsh*t
There’s a Bull that does drag in that sanctuary,
who performs under the name
Sandra Bullock………
I’d like to perform under Sandra Bullock
Iam glad his not being slaughtered, because his meat would taste queer anyway.

That Ugandan family refuse the Bóthar gift?
Did anyone tell Benjy that he is about to be castrated? Might have been better for him if he was made into beef burgers
No need to repeat yourself. We got you the first time
I don’t think he speaks English.
Wish i could give that more green thumbs
Getting castrated isn’t really as bad as dying!
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
It won’t matter what their sexual orientation is. The first thing they are going to do is castrate him. This whole story is complete cr@p.
Ah come on there has to be a Big Gay Al’s animal sanctuary reference here somewhere…
Only mayo could you get a gay bull but no sightings of Sam in years
Ahahahahahahahahah YEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!
Attention – Capitaine on board !
remember benjy either run down and ride a few but walk down and ride em all.
They are all cows in that photo …I’m afraid your comment was about as useless as tils on a gay bull ….
Hope he gets to sleep in the Gaybull end of the shed….
Best of luck to Benjy sad reflection on this country that he has to travel over seas for safety.
Rather than sitting in their bedsit eating their battered sausage like you
Respect to ARAN and all Animal Welfare groups. Go enjoy Benji!
Aran = animal rights not animal welfare, BIG difference
I have a pen (12) of gay bulls heading to factory after xmass . Sam simon could we do a deal ?
See this is going to be a brilliant coup for UKIP and their anti-immigration stance! I can see the headlines now ” Nigel Farage condemns the granting of asylum to gay Irish bull”
Is that Panti’s back garden
Did anyone tell Benjy he is about to be castrated. Might have been better for him if he was made into beef burgers
Someone should make a cartoon series about him. I would watch it. Tg 4 maybe?
Saved from the chop but wasn’t the poor bugger’s dick chopped off?
Why would they do that? Haha.
Hillside rescues policy
I’m sure they cut off the testicles really. :) And he won’t miss them. :)
I think he was taking part in that ‘sit on my face’ protest. He was perturbed by the thoughts of the AI man’s actions being deemed to be contrary to public interest.
Stupidest News story ever if it were a regular straight bull that wasn’t able to father young it would have been castrated.
Pull the udder one
The comments on this post are golden! #Craic
What an insane story. And of course, the lesson here is simple. If you’re a farmer and you’re looking good to sell your bull, pretend it’s gay and 300 morons will turn up and offer you twice the price for it.
Bye bye Benjy, oops maybe he is bi!?
have your say
