Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Royal Wedding Gift From PETA India Is … a Bull!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are sure to receive a wide variety of wedding gifts, but PETA India’s may be the most unique.
An Indian bull who was found weak and injured, after likely being forced to toil in the hot sun pulling a heavy cart for his entire life, has been adopted by the group on behalf of the happy couple and named Merry – a hybrid of the names Meghan and Harry – in their honour. He’ll spend the rest of his days relaxing in peace at a sanctuary in Maharashtra, India.
“Prince Harry and Meghan Markle now have a one-ton bull to call their own. Rescuing Merry is an ideal wedding present for a couple who want their day celebrated with charitable works and contributions,” says PETA Founder Ingrid Newkirk. “The royal wedding is the perfect time for anyone to spare a thought for and show some love to all our fellow living beings.”
Merry was found alone and suffering from a deep wound on his neck. His wound has been treated and has completely healed, and he’s found a best friend, another bullock, named Barshya, who was also recently rescued.
