I admire this woman for using her fame to help the animals.
So many celebrities lead completely selfish, useless lives.
I knew she was an animal rights activist, but I didn't know the extent of it.
I did a little research on her and was really amazed to find that she is one of the biggest animal activists in the entire world.
Here is her website:

A quick presentation of the Foundation
For many years the Brigitte Bardot Foundation has evolved and leads a stronger battle in favour of pet and wild animal protection in the world.
Today the Brigitte Bardot Foundation has over 57 000 donators living in over 60 different countries and also 323 inspectors. The head quarters are in Paris and are run by 30 employees.
The Foundation works directly on the field (help to refuges, animal rescue, stray cat sterilization campaigns…)
It also intervenes at the judicial level, with the help of inspectors spread out all over France.
Abroad, the Foundation created a sanctuary for bears in Bulgaria, set up an itinerant clinic for East European countries…
Mobile advertising, media, interviews, press releases, demonstrations, dispatches and petitions and all communications networks are mobilised to denounce again and again.
The Brigitte Bardot Foundation takes an active part in several coalitions to reinforce its role. These coalitions unite major international associations for animal protection in order to join forces to lead a stronger purpose!
We are indeed members of Eurogroup for animal Welfare, an association that intervenes at the European level to legally reinforce animal welfare (
www.eurogroupanimalwelfare.org).
We also play an active part in GAWC (Global Anti-Whaling Campaign) that works against whale hunting (
www.whalewatch.org).
We have decided to join the Fur Free Alliance (
www.infurmation.com) to denounce and inform people of atrocities concerning fur.
In France we struggle on the side of the “Fédération de Liaisons Anti-Corrida” (
www.anti.corrida.free.fr) that strives to limit bull fights.
Bardot was convicted several times for "inciting racial hatred" in various written articles and comments made in interviews. In 1997 she was fined for her comments published in Le Figaro newspaper. Her next conviction came in 1998 for the statement about the growing number of mosques in France. In June 2000 a French court fined her 30,000 francs for the comments, which were published in 1999 in her book Le Carre de Pluton.
In 2001 Bardot was prosecuted over her article Open Letter to My Lost France.
With the publication of her 2003 book A Scream in the Silence the reclusive Bardot has come under considerable fire for comments which certain political analysts described as anti-Muslim and homophobic.[18] In May 2003 the MRAP announced it would sue Bardot for her published views. Another organisation - the "Ligue des Droits de l'Homme" (The Human Rights League) - announced they were also considering similar legal proceedings.[16]
On 10 June 2004 Bardot was convicted by a French court of "inciting racial hatred" and fined 5,000 €, the fourth such conviction/fine she has faced from French courts. The courts cited passages where Bardot referred to the "Islamisation of France" and the "underground and dangerous infiltration of Islam"[20].
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigitte_BardotSounds like Bridgitte is our kind of girl- hates muzzies.
I guess you have no freedom of speech in France since she has been put on trial so many times for speaking out against the Islamization of France.
Well, I say more power to her. At least she has the sense to know how they destroy cultures.
