Thursday, December 8, 2022, Brigitte Bardot granted an interview to the Parisian. During this, the actress committed to the animal cause, revealed to be discouraged and made disturbing confidences.
Ex-star of the cinema, Brigitte Bardot lives a more discreet life today. In 1986, she founded her eponymous foundation, in favor of the animal cause. If she is very committed and determined to make things happen, she is sometimes discouraged. Thursday, December 8, 2022, in an interview with Parisian, the star dropped: “When I see what is happening, I feel very bad. Morale down.“While she has just discovered images of abuse at a horse fair recovered by her association, Brigitte Bardot declared:”I cried looking at these pictures. I couldn’t go all the way. Unfortunately, this is not the first time such behavior has taken place at this fair, but I want it to be the last. Our foundation files a complaint against everyone, against all these bastards, the organizers, the people who beat the horses, the veterinarians who do not denounce these treatments.“
Referring to her life of combat, the ex-actress confided that she did not have great satisfactions. “Stopping horse traffic and horse eating in France would be a great satisfaction. Stopping bullfighting too, ritual slaughter“, she said, before adding: “In the crumbs that I was able to obtain, there is not much: we no longer cut the roupettes and the teeth of the pigs without anesthetizing them, we gave a little more room to the hens in battery…“A bit discouraged, Brigitte Bardot said:”When I espoused the animal cause, everyone thought it was a whim, but I never gave up.“Despite everything, she will continue to fight.”I never gave up. Sometimes, yes, I have been discouraged, because it takes a power of courage, stubbornness and love to continue against all odds for fifty years“, she indicated, before adding optimistically: “Sometimes I think I’m really brave. But I am extremely supported, the French support me 100%. I have phenomenal mail. They love animals, believe in me and give me strength.“
Brigitte Bardot: “Young people need to take up the torch”
Today, the star is already thinking about the aftermath. “My foundation will continue after me, I have made arrangements for things to continue after my death. I have a great team. Young people need to take up the torch“, she said. Indeed, her fight is far from over. Thursday, December 8, 2022, Brigitte Bardot sent an open letter to the Minister of Agriculture, Marc Fesnau, to denounce the violence of horse traders of the Maurs fair on animals. Angry, she wrote in particular: “You are responsible for implementing government policy on animal protection. Entrusting this important mission to an archery hunter, pro bullfighting, anti-wolves and bears, could make you smile… Me, it scandalizes me!“
