TRIBUTE TO BRIGITTE BARDOT: THE END OF AN ICON, THE BEGINNING OF AN ETERNAL LEGACY FOR ANIMALS!

 

The animal welfare world is in mourning. Brigitte Bardot, who dedicated more than half her life to defending the most vulnerable, passed away on Sunday, December 28, 2025.

For Services Pour Animaux and all the certified professionals in our network, Ms. Bardot will forever remain the "Patron Saint of Animals" and the spark that transformed pity into a political and social struggle.

 

A Lifelong Fight: From the Screen to the Field

From the 1970s onward, Ms. Brigitte Bardot chose to leave the limelight behind for the shelters of animals. From baby seals on the ice floes to horses destined for slaughter, from abandoned dogs to laboratory animals, she championed every cry as her own.

Her Brigitte Bardot Foundation, which has become a global pillar of animal protection, has helped to change attitudes and laws. If the June 2025 decree and the new regulations on animal welfare exist today, it is largely thanks to the groundwork she courageously and tenaciously laid.

 

A legacy for tomorrow's professionals

For us—dog trainers, feline behaviorists, horse trainers, dog and cat groomers, animal osteopaths, pet sitters, veterinarians, animal naturopaths, and animal transportersBrigitte Bardot embodied the imperative of animal ethics. She taught us that:

_ Animal welfare is not an option: It is a moral obligation.

_ Respect for animal integrity: Whether domestic, exotic, or equine, every living being deserves dignity and quality care.

_ The voice of animal professionals: By uniting, as we do on Services Pour Animaux, we are stronger in protecting animals and helping all abandoned dogs and cats throughout France.

 

Continuing her work of animal respect

The most heartfelt tribute we can pay her is not only through tears but also through action. Every certified professional who registers on our platform, every pet owner who chooses a trained expert rather than an amateur, contributes to Brigitte Bardot's vision: a world where animals are finally valued for their true worth.

Quote from Brigitte Bardot: "I gave my youth and beauty to men; I give my wisdom and experience to animals."

 

What will become of the Brigitte Bardot Foundation? This is the question thousands of donors and animal rights advocates are asking themselves today. True to the determination of its creator, the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, which has been recognized as a public utility since 1992, is structured to survive the death of its founder, namely:

_ A strong team: Her staff and administrators, whom she trained and chose for their dedication, ensure the continuity of rescue efforts and awareness campaigns.

_ A financial legacy: Brigitte Bardot arranged everything to ensure that the funds were protected solely for the benefit of animals.

_ The passing of the torch to animal professionals: At Services Pour Animaux, we encourage our community to continue supporting this historic organization. BB's passing is a call to strengthen our individual and collective commitment so that her work never ends.

 

Rest in peace, Madame Bardot. We are carrying on the fight. The struggle continues...
