Brigitte Bardot Asks Carla Bruni-Sarkozy To Help End Bullfighting

Former actress turned animal activist Brigitte Bardot is trying to round up support from a fellow French sister to end bullfighting in France.
The sport which involves brutally killing a bull in front of an audience is a tradition in Southern France, much like it is in Spain.
Bardot has written to France’s First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, asking for her help to end the torture by giving hubby President Nicolas Sarkozy the nudge.
“Could you convince your husband to ban bullfights, this atrocious spectacle of death, by telling him ”someone told me France must no longer allow the death of a tortured animal”?” wrote Bardot.
“I can”t tell you how important this stance is in the struggle I have pursued for so many years.”
Bardot also thanked Mrs. Sarkozy for not wearing fur.
