MONTREAL — When Kim Côté and Perle Morency added a seal-meat burger to the menu of their popular bistro in Kamouraska, Que., they decided to have some fun with the name. The Phoque Bardot Burger — combining the French word for seal and the name of the actress known for her campaign against the Canadian seal hunt — became one of the restaurant’s top sellers.
But last month news of the couple’s creation made its way across the Atlantic, and animal-rights activists there failed to see the humour. A French Facebook page called “Defend the animals and protect nature” reported the burger was concocted from “the meat of massacred baby seals” and lamented that its name was disrespectful toward Brigitte Bardot.
“We are receiving a lot of hate messages, and we’re almost inclined to let them win, because we don’t feel like fighting,” Ms. Morency, co-owner of the Côté Est bistro, said in an interview Wednesday. “There is a lot of intimidation. I don’t want my restaurant to be blamed any more, for people to call and say, ‘You are crazy, you are inhumane, you are assassins.’ ”
Exposing the Big Game 
I, for one, am SO sick and tired of hearing these people complain about “death threats” and “hate mail”, they know what they are doing is wrong, they know people will speak up, so suck it up already!
The poor things, it’s not like they weren’t expecting it.
You are what you eat, in their case a tomb of babies.
Um, what did they think would happen with such a provocative name for a restaurant item? It is definitely an offensive play on words.
Definitely.
When evil people do evil things what should they expect, flowers and fame or some of their own “medicine”? Anyone with average intelligence will know the answer to this ?.
Nous avons ce que nous méritons!!!

And they probably think they’re being funny naming after Ms. Bardot.
