VIENNA (Reuters) - French actress-turned-animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot said Saturday she had been sent thousands of death threats for criticizing the South Korean practice of eating dog.
Bardot angered some South Koreans last year when she said she planned to distribute protest pictures depicting the torture of dogs before the upcoming 2002 World Cup soccer finals, which begin in Korea and Japan later this month.
"I have received 7,000 death threats...they are furious with me for my criticism and have said, 'this is our traditional culture," Bardot told a news conference.
