Tough Love
In 1958, Bardot faced quite a tough year. After her marriage to Roger Vadim dissolved and her relationship with her lover Jean-Louis Trintignant came to an end, she reportedly experienced several nervous breakdowns. Some have even claimed that she attempted to take her life during this time.
Not All Or Nothing
According to Bardot, there’s no need to choose which animals to save and which to continue killing. In 2015, she was a vocal critic of Australia’s decision to euthanize feral cats in order to save endangered species. Even though feral cats were causing 10% of Australia’s mammal extinctions, she said that the idea was: absolutely useless, since the rest of them will keep breeding.”
