Cull the damn bull and lynch you dirty fags. PROBLEM SOLVED’</p><p></p><p>linkrock123: ‘Disgusting fuckers. An animal cannot be homosexual. If it willingly chooses to "breed" with a male, it's because the animal has a mental deficiency. Animals breed to reproduce, nothing else. Perverted freaks.’ </p><p></p><p>Huey Freeman: ‘At first i thought this was some kind of joke.Like wtf there bulls  for fuck sake .You gay people make me sick , fundraising money because of some damn bull.These animals do not feel anything when you slice there neck off they just die.You guys need help .Being gay is very wrong btw’</p><p></p><p>Any money raised past the £5,000 target will be used to fund the keep of Benjy and also be used to help other LGBT charities across the UK helping those in our LGBT community struggling with their sexuality.</p><p></p><p>TheGayUK has set up a Crowd Funding page to help #SaveBenjy from slaughter.
