The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has renamed its newest vessel, formerly called Gojira, to honor a former actress with a long history of animal activism. The will sail through Libyan waters in the next week to protect blue fin tuna from poachers. Bardot has been a passionate defender of many animals, including seals. In the 70s, Sea Shepherd s Captain was with Bardot when she posed with a baby seal off the coast of Labrador. Bardot has called for an end to the Canadian seal hunt and has advocated boycotting some of Canada s products to put financial pressure on the country to change. Bardot wrote a letter to Watson after learning of the honor of having her name placed on the vessel. Captain of my heart. I m moved, overwhelmed and infinitely grateful that this wonderful savior of the seas will wear my name to fight against those who allow themselves to butcher what is most precious in the oceans. Thank to you Paul for this magical idea that fulfills me with pride. Together we will win! You are the strength and the courage, I m the love and determination. May the Brigitte Bardot led by Paul Watson be a symbol of victory. Possibly Related Posts:
