Russell Brand Gets Bull Named After Him To Celebrate Bullock Cart Ban

What do Russell Brand and bulls have in common? Well, they’re both “handsome fellows,” according to PETA India. And both Brand and bullocks are starting a new life.

The Indian branch of the animal rights group named a bullock after the actor who’s been nominated for Sexiest Vegetarian several times.

“The gift of a namesake is also fitting because just as Russell Brand embarks on his new life as a married man, Russell the bullock has also been given a new lease on life — the heavy loads he once pulled have been lifted from his shoulders for good.”

But, wait, doesn’t Brand getting married to Katy Perry and losing his bachelor’s status mean he’ll be carrying more on his shoulders from now on? Well, at least the bulls have it better as it looks as if a ban on bullock carts for certain transportation will be issued in Mumbai.

Lindsay Lohan is seriously considering PETA’s offer to go vegan if they help her pay for rehab.

The animal rights group had agreed to pay her $10,000 if she went vegan during rehab, and another $10,000 if she stayed vegan for the entire year, which would cover a little less than half of her tab of $53,000 at the Betty Ford Clinic.

According to Radar Online:

“Lindsay is seriously considering the offer from PETA. There is thoughtful consideration about PETA’s very generous offer. Lindsay loves animals, and looks at it as a ‘win-win’ since being a vegetarian is a healthier lifestyle that she is striving for.”

“Farm animals are smart, friendly animals who experience fear, pain and suffering just like cats, dogs and all other living beings do. The cruel conditions endured by billions of farm animals annually on factory farms all across North America is an issue that affects all of us. As a proud Brooklyn native who believes all animals should be treated with compassion, I am honored to be back in my hometown leading the 2010 New York City Walk for Farm Animals.”

From The Laist:

“Education is one of those things that you can’t understate how important it is. I’m also really passionate about animal rights and in the future we might benefit that but this year we’re focusing on these two charities.”
