Brigitte Bardot dies at 91: Her crusade for Hungarian animal welfare
Change language:
Brigitte Bardot, the iconic French actress and animal rights activist, passed away at age 91 on 28 December 2025, as confirmed by her foundation. Her lifelong dedication to animal welfare included specific advocacy for Hungarian animals, making her a relevant figure for us at Daily News Hungary. Key connections involve protesting puppy smuggling from Hungary and rescuing Hungarian wolves.
Bardot’s animal activism
Bardot founded the Brigitte Bardot Foundation in 1986, focusing on global animal protection, including campaigns against bear dancing in nearby Bulgaria and stray dog culls in Romania. She mobilised masses against practices like seal clubbing, bullfighting, and whaling, often criticising politicians directly. Her efforts led to bans on seal fur and ivory imports in Europe and France.
Ties to Hungarian animals
Bardot spoke out against the smuggling of Hungarian puppies into France, visiting a shelter in Nice that housed 140 illegally transported pups from Hungary and calling for stronger animal welfare laws. She rescued 50 Hungarian wolves, relocating them to France’s Gevaudan nature park to protect them from harm.
It’s unfortunate she passed away but not very many people reach their 90’s. I do wonder whether or not she had upside values like many seem to have today. Trying to save the planet but having less regards for the dignity of human life, conception, and championing causes for the disadvantaged and disenfranchised. Just a question. Arnold
Maybe not all, but I would think quite a few… She was human. Do you?
