French screen icon Brigitte Bardot, aged 90, denounced on Tuesday what she called a "massacre" of chamois—a species of goat-antelope native to the mountainous regions of Europe—in the Doubs department, where the local police chief has authorised the culling of 594 animals for the purpose of "vegetation protection".
On Tuesday, Brigitte Bardot, founder of an animal protection foundation that bears her name, condemned the "carnage" criticised by French animal rights groups.
