The actor requested Loubo be ‘put to sleep’ and placed in his grave alongside him, The Guardian reports, however the demand was met with fierce backlash from animal rights groups.
La SPA France – the country’s oldest animal protection organization – took to Twitter on August 19, writing: „The SPA wanted to pay tribute to Alain Delon, animal lover and defender of the cause. Before his death, he had expressed the wish to euthanize his dog Lobo. However, the life of an animal should not be conditioned by that of a human. The SPA is volunteering to take in his dog and find him a family.”
Thankfully, a spokesperson for the Brigitte Bardot Foundation later responded to the controversy, explaining they’d ‘just had Anouchka Delon [Delon’s daughter] on the phone’.
They revealed the family had resolved the dog ‘will not be put down’ but ‘kept’ instead.
