A gay bull has been saved from slaughter by the only person who could have truly understood the ridiculousness of the situation the co-creator of the Simpsons.
Benjy the bull was being prepared for the chop after vets said his sexual orientation was the reason he wouldnt breed.
Thats when Sam Simon, who helped start cult cartoon comedy, stepped in.
All animals have a dire destiny in the meat trade, but to kill this bull because hes gay wouldve been a double tragedy, said the 59-year-old producer who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
After being told he was dying in 2012 he vowed to give away his $100million (£64m) fortune to charity and thankfully for Benjy, his plight struck a chord with him.
Simon added he was thrilled Benjys fate lied in a sanctuary rather than a sandwich.
The bull should be in his new home by Christmas.
Simon was told about Benjys situation by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta).

Yep, this is strange.
Could it be that this bull didn’t find any of the females attractive? And that’s why mating didn’t happen?
As a man, I am attracted to females. However, I am not attracted that way to every single female I meet. Could the same be true in the animal kingdom?
And don’t females have to be receptive to a male also?
There are reasons other than this bull being homosexual, that mating didn’t happen.
I have seen other stories in the media in recent years, talking about homosexuality in animals. Why do they run these stories? To convince us that homosexuality is normal, found in animals, found in people too????
yes
I thought this was out of the Onion, but back to my steak now.
Most men have met the type of woman who says any man who does not jump out of his chair, wanting to ravish her right there as is, must obviously be gay. Most men are also selective. It’s not like we were trapped on a deserted island with a limited number of choices.
Next steak I have gets nicknamed Benjy.
I hate myself for laughing at that.
Benji is one confused animal but that does not make him gay - I call Bull on this one!
Animals mount one another for domination.
Benjy may have just been a....bully.
A gay bull? That could get rather messy if he tried to force himself on an unwilling partner.
George Clooney’s greatest role.
There’s a small part of me that loathes coming up with it. So cheesy, but I just couldn’t stop myself. It was low hanging fruit and i grabbed it.
Mea Culpa

True, true. Certainly better than his portrayal of Batman, aka “franchise killer”.

I saw what you did there.
He was also good as the Doctor in the SP Movie, when he replaced Kenny’s heart with a baked potato.
Just be glad you won’t be in the ER when he’s wheeled in.
I laughed too. Oh, the shame.
How do they know he was gay? Did he try to mount another bull?
I don’t know, and I’m not sure that I want to know.
And it was wickedly delicious...fruit.
