Brigitte Bardot Citizenship Could Become Russian

This is the threat from French movie star, Brigitte Bardot. She is interested in changing her citizenship to Russian if the French city of Lyon will go ahead on its plans to euthanize two elephants at a zoo.

On Wednesday, she appealed to French President Francois Hollande to intervene on behalf of the Indian elephants, named Baby and Nepal, who are believed to have tuberculosis.

In an interview with French newspaper Le Parisien, the actress said that the former circus elephants could be helped with the right veterinary care and that the foundation could help find them a more suitable place to live.

Brigitte Bardot is an active animal rights campaigner.
