Brigitte Bardot plans move to Russia if France kills sick elephants

Looks like Gerard Depardieu might have a new neighbor. Sexy '60s siren Brigitte Bardot says she will leave France for Russia unless her home country halts plans to put two sick circus elephants to sleep. Baby and Nepal, both 42, are gravely ill with tuberculosis in a Lyon zoo, and Bardot says authorities have ignored her "numerous proposals" to save them. If the elephants are euthanized, she plans "to flee this country that is now just a graveyard for animals." Bardot, a committed vegetarian and animal activist, might be a bad fit for a country that has no problem eating vats of foie gras. But Russia? Last time anyone checked, Moscow wasn't renowned for its meatless cuisine, either. [Source]
