Brigitte BARDOT

[palestine]

This is with an immense regret that I learned the passing of Brigitte Bardot.

She was a French figure of big importance. From my restricted knowledge about her, she was a beautiful actress but a heavy militant for animal rights, too.

Going front of the main stream attitude of considering animals as "cattle"( or within a narrow world view narrowed down to "exploitation" benefits) - she tended to promote their existence, their needs. She would suggest an alternative to the main stream "business" world view, towards a more sane approach.

She was a unique voice, a too rare voice!

With or without her, the fight against injustice towards the animal kingdom will remain, it should be so as long as there is a need, I suppose, because if there's a distorsion in a perspective, consequences will continue to manifest. She was still a leading person, and I personally feel a great loss, and mourn her much.

I am sure that she will be at peace, after having been that kind. She was an example of kindness, such kindness that some aim to cultivate. Some of us favour different spiritual principles, and this is understandable. We are not all made out of the same fabric, so to speak, and there are different "tribes" and traits. I have personally become more sensitive to kindness. The world sometimes seems to be a mono road towards technocracy and that whole transhumanist empty concept.

More and more, I am reminded at the quote "when you tug at a single tree branch, you stare at the whole Universe"! There is truth in a 2D structure, it's supporting us of course, and/but it's part of the whole. We cannot go without and shouldn't think of going without, or try to over-simplifiy it. We see how humans are not mere "fixed 3D objects". Their presence seems embed into the same "whole" and I believe that there are indissociable features in regard of the whole. Same should be, for 2D: there may be some aspects that are indissociable of the whole - 2D may have "1D > 7D" aspects. Love, being.

Not really related to animals, but here is the translation of an open letter she addressed to Macron

"Your first words when you welcomed me to the Élysée Palace... ‘You're going to yell at me!’
Five years later, yes, I am yelling at you, Emmanuel Macron, because I am angry at your inaction, your cowardice, your contempt for the French people (who, it is true, treat you the same way). Your smugness, your cowardice, your ridiculous speeches, your total lack of empathy and authority make you a despicable puppet, a sad doormat good for wiping away the blood and death that reigns over this country whose lights have gone out."

She was clearly a great soul. Through her incarnation she used her stunning beauty to made a lot for women emancipation while staying close to conservative values.

She then used her status to make humans less STS towards animals without hesitating to denounce forcefully. Here is what she said about the inhabitants of Réunion French isle :

"It's all reminiscent of the cannibalism of centuries gone by. I'm ashamed of this island, of the savagery that still reigns here, of the risks taken by human beings who risk their lives trying to save dogs and cats targeted by a degenerate population still steeped in the ancestral customs and barbaric traditions that are their roots".

I wonder what she witnessed. She was then imposed a fine of 20.000€.

I didn’t know her well, but she seem to be a courageous and decent woman who used her fame to bring a bit of good in this world, for that she has my thanks.

May she rest in peace.

She was truly beautiful and decided to leave the celebrity world to live her own life, which meant defending animals. I'm so sorry she died. She seemed eternal, and I love the mature Brigitte Bardot, with her wrinkles. She reminds me of Colette, the writer, who, also a great beauty in her youth, decided to leave the system and live her life with her dogs and cats. Both so beautiful, so strong, so independent.
