Overview

• Brigitte Bardot, a long-time animal rights activist, appeared on BFMTV to call for the abolition of chasse à courre, describing it as 'inhumane' and 'obsolete.'
• She sent symbolic hearing aids to President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister François Bayrou to emphasize her demands for action.
• Bardot highlighted France and Ireland as the only European countries where this traditional hunting practice remains legal, despite significant public opposition in France.
• The 90-year-old actress declared this campaign her 'last combat' and also criticized modern cinema as producing 'ugly films' and labeled the Cannes Film Festival a 'nightmare.'
• Bardot's activism extends beyond hunting, including calls to end horse-meat consumption and improve protections for wolves.
