She may have been beautiful on the outside when she was younger and I applaud her animal rights work but unfortunately her opinions on race and homosexuality are anything but beautiful.
Well, her voice against seal hunting is rather cause for dislike, as far as I'm concerned. It may not look pretty, but it's absolutely necessary - if the seal population isn't culled, they eat the ocean clean. And wash up on the northern shores by the thousands, half-dead from starvation. It's happened more than once in recent years. Not to mention that what they eat the ocean clean of is the livelihhod on which hundreds of coastal communities on Iceland and in Norway fundamentally depend. Seals are culled for exactly the same reason that hunting takes place on every other kind of wild animal that isn't an endangered species, the only difference is that in this case the consequences of not doing it is much worse than a few nibbled hops due to an excessive population of deer.

Actually, humans eat/pollute the ocean clean.
Maybe the natural predators for the seals should be more protected.

I googled brigitte bardot homosexuality and found this.
Veteran screen star BRIGITTE BARDOT insists she holds a great deal of love and respect for gay men - even though she slams homosexual culture in her new book.
The French actress has lashed out at reports she's prejudiced against gays, by claiming her best friends - as well as most of the men working for her - are homosexual.
She says, "Apart from my husband, who maybe will cross over one day as well, I am surrounded by gays. For years they have been my support, my friends, my adopted children, my confidantes.
"Homosexuals are human beings like any other with qualities and faults. Some are my best friends."
But in her new book A CRY IN THE SILENCE she writes of gay people, "They jiggle their bottoms, put their little fingers in the air and with their little castrato voices moan about what those ghastly heteros put them through.
I think Paris Hilton would say, "That's Hot!", but ummmm, I kind of see what she means. She doesn't mind homosexuals, but she doesn't like bitchiness. She actually says "some of my best friends..." I don't know.
I wasn't exaggerating when I was speaking about thousands of starving seals washed up on the shore to perish miserably because there's nothing left in the ocean for them to eat. It has happened more than once in recent years.
Orcas and polar bears? They already are, unless I'm much mistaken. But that's not going to solve the problem during the next few decades. And anyway, where's the benefit in that for the seals? Is it better to be eaten alive by a polar bear than to be clubbed to death by a man?
cheers
Ghastly hetero that woman.
Not that I have a problem with heteros, some of my best friends etc...
But jokes aside, every time someone says the "some of my best friends" thing, I know that person is a hater. Unless they are paraphrasing
I'm thinking of a natural balance. I like the idea of there being polar bears and whales, and the bears may be protected but Japan is very aggressively whaling.
We're talking about different areas of the world. Beyond that you may think it's naive but I usually don't believe it when they try to say that it's to the animals benefit for large numbers or them to be slaughtered by humans, especially when there is a huge industry behind it. On the other hand, I don't begrudge a polar bear or a whale eating a seal. That's just what they do. And I wouldn't have a problem with indigenous humans doing it either, except that it's part of a huge industry that creates a lot of suffering for profit, not subsistence.
I thought this was going to be about Yasmin le Bon.
You must start another thread and see what dirt can be dug up regarding her...
There is none!
She is beyond criticism.
Some of the ladies of the world are....
If we stopped overfishing and depleting the oceans, maybe we wouldn't need to cull the "overpopulated" seal colonies. I mean, no one talks about culling the overpopulated human colonies in India, China, etc. Animals have a right to exist too.
I don't mean this post in a stroppy way, just challenging the notion that everything on earth must be made to work for the benefit of humans, like that is the only supreme right.
P.S. And surely at age 75, a woman has earned the right to be referred to as a woman and not a girl.
OK, now I really am being irritable...
There is none!
She is beyond criticism.
Er, I was talking about Yasmin.Tut, tut, there's one
Er, I was talking about Yasmin.
I don't give a toss about that crazy old French crone.
