'Gay Cat' Named Bull Allegedly Disowned By Owner In Nigeria

Bull The 'Gay Cat' Thrown Out By Owner
|

A woman has disowned her 7-year-old cat, Bull, for apparently being gay.

Poor old Bull's efforts to have sex with other male cats are apparently "a contradiction of the laws of nature," according to his former owner.

The middle-aged woman said her frisky feline has rejected available female cats.

The unnamed woman told Nigerian newspaper Leadership she finds the behaviour "disturbing and a contradiction of the laws of nature."

In further damning evidence, neighbours told Leadership that none of the other cats born while Bull was in the house had his colouring.

Having publicly declared the cat as gay, she added: "Anybody interested in this gay cat can have it because I have no further use of it."

The bizarre tale highlights Nigeria's worrying treatment of homosexuals.

Bill's harsh treatment comes just days after Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan signed a controversial bill banning same-sex marriage, gay "amorous relationships" and participation in LGBT rights groups.

Germany's Bremerhaven Zoo has been home to several pairs of same-sex penguins. In 2009, Z and Vielpunkt, two male Humboldt penguins at Germany's Bremerhaven Zoo, became the proud new parents of a healthy penguin chick."Another couple threw the egg out of their batch. We picked it up and put it in the nest of the gay penguins," veterinarian Joachim Schöne is quoted as saying. (credit:Getty )

As Haaretz reported in 2009, two male vultures (not pictured) named Dashik and Yehuda once engaged in a "fiery romance" at the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo that made headlines in the international media, even building a joint nest. The birds' "relationship" eventually dissolved, when they eventually paired off with females, but, in a surprise twist, those females laid eggs on the same day, which also hatched on the same day.
