She was a big-time fan of everything expensive and luxurious.

Ah, remember those outrageously long, warm, and fluffy manteaux de fourrure (fur coats) she just couldn’t get enough of?

Well, that, of course, was when she was jeune et belle (young and beautiful)—a bit more than half a century ago.

Later, much later, or, matter of fact, decades later, when her beauté started naturally to fade away, and was less prone to be exposed to the spotlights, she became -possibly for the first time of her life- able to think straight:

She slowly came to the extraordinary realization that before she wore those super expansive, super fluffy coats, they were in fact living animals.

Bingo! Say no more, s’il vous plaît.

That was it.

It was, if you will, like an epiphany.

Madame Bardot had found her new calling, her new chemin de Damas (“road to Damascus.”)

She was to return to the spotlights, but d’ores et avant (from now on), she will be a VIP animal activist!

Madame Brigitte Bardot: Before she realized the importance of freeing caged animals (and where fluffy fur coats "really" come from)

Let us now open up une petite parenthèse (a small parenthesis), which will lead us straight back to Madame Bardot again.

Monsieur Pinault Junior, happy husband of Hollywood Star Selma Hayek, and heir to one of the wealthiest families of France

Only yesterday, we talked about Józef Glemp, the high-profiled Polish Cardinal who had un rêve (a dream), but was seemingly too busy to fulfil it: He has lately been forced to issue a formal apology for the series of harsh statements he leveled throughout the past years against people of the Jewish faith, and most particulalrly against the Holocaust (following a rather costly lawsuit filled against him by Harvard lawyer Alan Dershowitz…)

In order to make his cherished dream come true, namely the erection of the Temple of Divine Providence in the vicinity of the Polish capital -a construction project already initiated more than 200 years ago by the last King of Poland, but somehow never brought to completion!- the controversial Cardinal naturally called upon to the services of the Polish subsidiary of a quasi-”French Godzilla Inc.“: Monsieur Pinault‘s “Warbud.”

Not surprisingly, Warbud is among the lucky few subcontractors retained by the UEFA to prepare the ground for the 2012 Euro, held this Summer in Poland and Ukraine.

Just like its parent Vinci, a flagship company in the orbit of Monsieur Pinault’s financial empire, Warbud builds just about everything. From les stades (stadiums) which will be hosting the European competition games, including the climactic final in Kiev, to the new autoroutes (highways) and parking garages crucial to the success of an event of such magnitude.

Ahead of the UEFA 2012 Euro Competition: A mad anti-stray dogs campaign is ruthlessly launched upon Ukraine: "Find them, Kill them, Burn Them On the Spot"

It remains unclear at this point whether or not, in preparation for the European Championship, Warbud is directly involved in the nasty Holocaust campaign targeting stray dogs roaming the streets of Ukranian cities (“find them-kill them-burn them on the spot” is how the bloody campaign has been labeled.)

It is at least curious, however, to examine the reaction of Madame Brigitte Bardot, who, it must be noted here, is a friend of long standing of the Pinault family.

Not one to be tight-lipped in general (no pun really intended), the VIP French lady has been over the past extremely vocal over all matters pertaining to la cruauté enevers les animaux (animal cruelty), especially before, during, and after the celebration of the Eid al-Adha, the Muslim festival of sacrifice, thus earning her the praise of French right-wing figures Jean-Marie le Pen and his daugther, the 2012 Presidential hopeful Marine le Pen.

It seems that, tout à coup (all of a sudden), for whatever mysterious, unfathomable reason, Madame Bardot, and the people working in her namesake Fondation (a proud recipient of Monsieur Pinault‘s generous funding) all have lost the use of their tongues, reduced to some very small and insignificant condamnations of what is happening in Ukraine.

One would think that the atrocious and systematic killings of thousands of animals at once on the altar of the UEFA Football Championship would spark the fury of the woman who turned, over the past years, into the French High Priestess of Animal rights, and would provide her Foundation with a golden opportunity to speak out loud.

Oui… you would think that, mais NON…
Or Nyet, as the brave Ukrainians who are currently fighting against the massacres would say.

Has the French Grande Prêtresse (High Priestess) of Animal rights turned into a Grande Traitresse (High Traitor) of those same poor animals she pretended to defend?

 Is it out of collusion with the powerful owner of GUCCI, Yves-Saint-Laurent, and other luxurious products she once couldn’t get enough of, who will be making yet another “killing” this Summer with the Euro 2012?

One can not tell for sure for now, but it is nevertheless un silence plutôt éloquent et qui en dit long (an eloquent, telling silence), of course.

Intended collusion or not, to this day (January 19th, 2012), the Fondarion Brigitte Bardot does not mention a single word about the UEFA animal cruelty scandal anywhere on its official website (CLICK HERE)!
