Bridgitte Bardot Travels to Romania to Save Street Dogs

Two sex symbols of the 60s, Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren, turned 75 this month.

Bardot, a vegetarian and animal rights activist, wished Sophia a happy three quarters of a century, asking Sophia to give her the best birthday present ever.

“I wish a happy birthday to Sophia Loren, my splendid twin, and I ask her to stop wearing fur — that is the best gift she could offer me,” Bardot said.

Bardot was less harsh with her words than she was in the 90s when she said, “Wearing a fur is wearing a cemetery on your back,” after Loren posed in fur for an Italian designer.

Hey, it’s her birthday month. Everyone’s a little nicer around that time.

The end of September marks birthdays for two big sex symbol icons of the 60s, Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot.

Both woman turn 75 this month and were known for their screen goddess film looks in their youth, but from an animal rights point of view, they’re polar opposites.

After retiring from movies around the age of 40, vegetarian Bardot devoted her life to animal activism, calling it “the most wonderful success” of her life.

And when Loren posed in a fur ad for an Italian designer in the 90s, Bardot wrote to her saying, “Wearing a fur is wearing a cemetery on your back.”

In Defense of Animals posted this formula for the number of animals it takes to make  fur coat.

“To make one fur coat you must kill at least fifty-five wild mink, thirty-five ranched mink, forty sables, eleven lynx, eighteen red foxes, eleven silver foxes, one hundred chinchillas, thirty rex rabbits, nine beavers, thirty muskrats, fifteen bobcats, twenty-five skunks, fourteen otters, one hundred twenty-five ermines, thirty possums, one hundred squirrels, or twenty-seven raccoons.”

That’s quite a pet cemetery.
