Rescued bull named after David Attenborough in 100th birthday tribute

Animal rights charity Peta has named a "wise" bull Sir Attenbullock, a unique tribute to celebrate nature broadcaster Sir David Attenborough's upcoming 100th birthday on 8 May.

The bull, named Sir Attenbullock to celebrate his birthday on May 8, will be mentioned in a letter sent to Sir David by Peta founder Ingrid Newkirk. The letter will tell him the animal was among the first rescued through Peta India’s Delhi mechanisation project. This initiative aims to replace animal-drawn carts with electric vehicles so the overworked animals can retire.
