Brigitte Bardot: Putin has done more for animal rights than all French presidents
The president of Russia, Vladimir Putin has done more for animal rights than all of his French colleagues. This was the opinion expressed by the French cinema legend and famous animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot in an interview with a local newspaper. The actress said that she considers Putin very humane.
“Each time I ask him for something, in principle, he helps”, she said.
Earlier, Bardot issued an ultimatum to the government and the president of the republic Francois Holland. She has promised to apply for Russian citizenship if politicians don’t intervene in a scandalous situation at a circus in Lyon, where two elephants dying of tuberculosis are to be put down.
At the end of 2011, Bardot sent a thank you letter to Putin, thanking him for banning the import of harp seal pup skins in Russia and her customs union partners, Belarus and Kazakhstan. “I am eternally grateful to you, that you are always attentive to my appeals and I am disappointed that I don’t receive the same support in my own country, falling behind in animal rights protection issues”, Bardot underlined. “Dear Prime Minister, I wish you all the best in the coming months and years. Thanks to this, the very best Christmas present, I want to assure you of my respect and true friendship.
In January 2000, Putin sent a letter to the actress, in which he praised her actions for animal rights. The president also expressed his gratitude that she is not indifferent to Russia’s fate. “The image of Brigitte Bardot, protector of of disadvantaged members of the animal world, is as well-known in Russia today as her artwork as a cinema actress was once. She is the symbol of a whole generation”, he said.
