Brigitte Bardot celebrated her 89th birthday, but she has lost none of her bite. The star who emerged in the 60s has always been keen to defend animals. This was his fight even before the end of his brilliant career. While she lives in her residence on the heights of Saint-Tropez, the former idol of French cinema never misses an opportunity to express one's opinion to try to save the animals.
Alain Delon's great friend is one of the last survivors of the golden era of yéyés. She was very affected by the death of her great friend last year. Aware that she doesn't have much time left, she redoubles her energy when it comes to protecting the animal cause. This is also what she did at the start of the year, not hesitating to attack a recent prefectural decision.
Brigitte Bardot wants to save the chamois
The one we affectionately call BB stood up against the choice of the prefect of Doubs. The latter has in fact decided to authorize the slaughter of 594 chamois in the region in order to protect the vegetation. The objective is to save young trees which are too often the target of these animals. The former star of French cinema did not hesitate to take up his pen to denounce what she considers a massacre.
“I learn with horror that the Doubs hunting plan, in progress until January 29, 2025, authorizes thee collection of nearly 600 chamois. Nothing ever stops the hunters and the State takes pleasure, in mediocre clientelism, in sacrificing the living on the altar of the particular interests of the hunters who still dare to dress themselves in the guise of protectors of biodiversity. You cannot and must not condone and surrender accomplice to such a massacre ».
An online petition
Besides Brigitte Bardot, they are numerous animal rights associations who have stepped up to the plate. Thus, a petition on the Humanino association website has collected nearly 62,000 signatures in order to have this prefectural decree withdrawn, which is in effect until January 29. The former star's rant probably accelerated the number of signatures as his voice still carries and is always relayed.
Here is the message attached to the petition: “Help us to promote their right to live in this wonderful biodiversityso fragile. The 2024-2025 hunting plan provides for the outright slaughter of several hundred chamois. Obscure reasons: destruction of forests by browsing (browsing of young shoots and buds) and absence of natural predators… Who are we kidding? ». Brigitte Bardot has therefore lost none of her verve and her combativeness. A new year of struggle begins.
