Looking for a way to jump on the French-hating bandwagon?

I have two for you.

Someone brought it to my attention today that fisherman on Reunion Island are using live puppies and kittens as shark bait. Animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot is calling on the French government to put a stop to it.

Of course, we don't know how the France will respond to this atrocity, but we do know how they have responded to another one. The French government and French restauranteurs are vehemently opposed to the proposed ban on foie gras. The making of fois gras is cruel on the same level as the making of veal.
