Animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot stirs fury in Reunion with 'racist' comments

March 20, 2019

SAINT-DENIS-DE-LA-REUNION, France (Reuters) - The highest ranking official on the French island of Reunion filed a legal suit against former film star and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot on Wednesday after receiving a letter deemed “racist” by the authorities.

In the letter, sent on Tuesday to the prefect of Reunion and local media, Bardot described inhabitants of the Indian Ocean island as “aboriginals who have kept the genes of savages” and denounced what she called the barbaric treatment of animals by a “degenerate population”.

A racist animal rights activist? Well, that's new.

A racist animal rights activist? Well, that's new.

Not really, there's various right wing animal rights/eco-'preservationist' groups eg. greenline front.

I must say I am a fan of Bardot.

Shes clearly never been to a slaughter house in europe or the united states. Lots of people are savages.
