Love for Animals
Brigitte Bardot was well-known for her love of animals, having up to 50 pets at a time in her home in St. Tropez. In 1980, she turned her attention to animal activism. She established the Brigitte Bardot Foundation in 1986 – an animal welfare charity dedicated to saving animals and advancing animal rights.
She’s been quite vocal about the numerous animal-related concerns throughout the world over time, donating and pleading for animal-friendly regulations. Her efforts resulted in her organization being designated as a French public utility.
