BRIGITTE BARDOT NEWS

Former French movie star and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot has requested the mayor of Kosovo's capital Pristina to cancel a planned hunt for stray dogs. Bardot stated in a letter to Mayor Ismet Beqiri, "Kosovo has survived a lot of dramas in the previous years, but by no means should that justify a barbarian act to eradicate the most loyal and best friend of man." "The use of force against the feeble is a cowardly act. "I beg you to intervene in favour of a ceasefire." "The dog population could be controlled and limited in sterilisation campaigns." "It is urgent to put an end to this killing in the open and solve the problem of abandoned dogs with more dignity." Bardot, 72, has established her foundations 20 years ago.
