The two were
married at an exclusive resort in Rajasthan last week. The bullock, or young
bull, was a present from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)
India and Animal Rahat, a nonprofit organization that provides free aid to
animals. Brand was named the "sexiest vegetarian alive" by PETA UK in
2007.
"Russell the celebrity and Russell the bullock have something in
common: They are both very handsome fellows," said Poorva Joshipura at
PETA India. "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."
PETA India has yet to hear from Brand
in response to the gift, Joshipura added.
