from
Wikipedia
In 1986, she established the Brigitte Bardot Foundation for the Welfare and Protection of Animals.
She became a vegetarian and raised three million francs to fund the foundation by auctioning off jewellery and many personal belongings.
Today she is a strong animal rights activist and a major opponent of the consumption of horse meat.
In support of animal protection, she condemned seal hunting in Canada during a visit to that country with Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
She sought to discuss the issue with Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, but her request for a meeting was reportedly denied.
On 25 May 2011 the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society renamed its fast interceptor vessel, MV Gojira, as MV Brigitte Bardot in appreciation of her support.
