Not long ago, we brought you the wonderful news that Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin had banned hunting baby seals and was looking for a complete ban on all seal hunting.

Now animal rights activist and sex symbol of the 50s through 70s Brigitte Bardot is praising him as well.

The letter was sent the day after Putin called for the ban of hunting seals under one year of age.
