DUBLIN (AP) ? He faced execution for failure to perform. But Benjy, the gay bull of Ireland, has been saved following a worldwide appeal backed by "The Simpsons" co-creator Sam Simon.

Ireland's Animal Rights Action Network said Tuesday that Simon is paying for Benjy's transportation to an animal sanctuary in England. Simon, who is battling colon cancer, has been giving away much of the fortune from his television career and is a leading donor to animal welfare causes.

Benjy, a Charlerois bull, failed this year to impregnate any heifers at a County Mayo farm in western Ireland. Veterinarians determined he was fertile, but was more attracted to the bull that replaced him.

After the farmer announced he planned to send Benjy to an abattoir, activists last week launched a social media campaign seeking 5,000 pounds ($7,825) to send the bull to the Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Norfolk, England, which is home for about 2,000 unwanted farm animals and horses. About 300 donors contributed 4,000 British pounds ($6,200) to an ongoing fundraising drive organized by the British online magazine TheGayUK.

Simon, who funds a Malibu dog shelter and many other animal rights projects, said he heard about Benjy's case through friends at the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals pressure group. He said he was happy to donate the full original cash target to buy Benjy and ship him to England.

"All animals have a dire destiny in the meat trade, but to kill this bull because he's gay would've been a double tragedy," Simon said in a statement. "It thrills me to help PETA and ARAN make Benjy's fate a sanctuary rather than a sandwich."

ARAN campaigns director John Carmody said Simon and other donors were buying the bull "a one-way ticket to freedom."

that's so awesome! thanks for posting :thumbsup

Now McDonald's has to scrap their new McFag burger.

So he saved people from putting gay meat in their mouth?

What happens to the Bull in a few years when he kicks over and dies of old age in the sanctuary? Does he become a McRib then??

ew, the mcrib is made from delicious pig entrails not gross old bull

Make a steak !

So some hipsters think it is smart to waste food for the fully grown cattle? Because normal people understand that once your cattle or birds or anything reaches their optimum weight they go to food. Unless they have other duties which is not the case of this not performing bull.

Fucking moronic hipsters with their stupid publicity stunts.

And look at those moronic people like that, how they twist things.
It was sent to be killed because he was not useful, not because that he was "gay". Fucking morons.

Not killing the bull just because he's gay makes me feel like straight bulls don't have equal bovine rights.

Equal rights means pro gay in reality (in libtards' minds).
Same with anti whiters.

I'm going to make a sign. Straight bulls are bovine too!
