Actress Brigitte Bardot Appeals To Obama To End Brutal Seal Slaying

Michael Parrish DuDell — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 16:18:49 +0000

You know who rocks the sauce? Brigitte Bardot rocks the sauce!

Seriously, the 74-year-old actress/activist has dedicated the latter part of her life to speaking for those who have no voice, and even founded the Brigitte Bardot Foundation for the Welfare and Protection of Animals in 1986.

Following a plea to French president Nicolas Sarkozky earlier this month, Bardot recently penned an open letter to US president Barack Obama voicing her outrage over laws that permit seal hunting.

She said she has “immense hope” in Obama, “even if I know that he is in demand from all directions and he already has a lot to do in his own country.”

Do you think Obama will help end the brutal seal trade? Chime in and share your thoughts!

The Green Quote: Brigitte Bardot Speaks On Behalf Of The Animals

Michael Parrish DuDell — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:44:57 +0000

“I think animals help us live; they’ve helped me live. It was only when I began to devote myself to protecting animals that I blossomed completely. Taking care of them, looking out for them, has given my life true meaning, a meaning I hope future generations can experience. Young people are always a hope. More of them must realize that the animal is not an object for profit, not a toy for our amusement, hunted for sport, not some thing to be cut up for his fur. They may see that the animal has the right to live, just as we have the right to live. We, the animals, the plants are the whole, and the whole makes a chain, and if we break that chain, all of humanity will pay. That’s it. ”

- A selection by legendary actress turned activist Brigitte Bardot from Ingrid Newkirk’s new book One Can Make a Difference. The collection of essay includes inspirational words from people like The Dalai Lama, Paul McCartney, Dennis Kucinich, Oliver Stone and many more.

Pamela Anderson Seal Hunting UPDATE!

Michael Parrish DuDell — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 19:50:31 +0000

Remember when Ecorazzi told you about Pamela Anderson’s speech protesting seal hunting in Canada? Well yesterday afternoon Pamela blogged about it on her website, PamelaChannel.com. She said:

“Ms Bardot asked me to represent her in her annual press conference at her foundation”s headquarter by Eiffle Tower- in her and my plea to ban the seal hunt in Canada (coming again soon)- It was an amazing crowd-full of sympathy- I saw tears (even papperazzi) when I played footage of the baby seals being beaten and sometimes skinned alive in this barbaric-cash bonus for the fisheries.

Brigitte Bardot called me on speaker phone at press conference expressing her gratitude for all the work I do for animals- she called me her “daughter” , “a continuation of her” I almost fell over-. -I’ve always loved her- she is truly my favorite -beyond her beauty- she has done so much for animals- and has taken her beauty and attention to whole other level- your heart never ends– and beauty continues when your heart is sweet…She is still Gorgeous! …She is an inspiration- and I thank her again and again for everything she’s done–and i will continue and encourage others to continue the fight for animals everywhere.”

Like it or not, this chick’s totally got it!

Pamela Anderson Keeps It Real For The Sake Of The Seal

Michael Parrish DuDell — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 16:31:51 +0000

When you hear the name Pamela Anderson, what’s the first thing that pops in your head? Oh come on, don’t be gross! Sure, you could think of the scandals or the sex tape or the botched marriages, but instead I like to think about all the super wonderful things she’s done for the sake of the animals. And guess what? The Baywatch beauty is at it again.

It’s been reported that Pamela Anderson plans on delivering a letter from fellow animal rights activist, Brigitte Bardot to the Canadian ambassador to protest the hunting of seals. Pamela was in Paris, France for Valentine’s Day to star in a series of burlesque shows at the world famous Le Crazy Horse club and took the opportunity to speak with the press.

Pam said, “It (seal hunting) sickens me not just as a Canadian but as a human being.” Pam also asked the fashion industry to stop using animal pelts in production. She added, “The hunt was dead for 20 years, and has been revived, not to honor local customs or conserve cod stocks, but because new markets for fur have opened up in Russia and China.”

So Pam, even though your personal life has been through some rough sauce lately, I want to thank you for staying steadfast with your activist efforts and keeping it real for the sake of the seal. I’d ask you to marry me but…well…umm…let’s just stick to what we’re good at and save animals together.
