Bearskins

Protesters are calling on the MoD to end its support of the slaughter of Canadian black bears, whose skin is used to make the purely ornamental King’s Guard’s bearskin caps.

The unjustifiable rejection of this ad won’t deter PETA from continuing to demand that the MoD honour its commitment to embracing modern, humane faux fur.

Heavy bearskin should be replaced with lighter faux bear fur for the sake of the bears and the fainting guards, says PETA in a letter to the Ministry of Defence.

PETA has urged King Charles to wear a faux fur cap instead of bearskin at his birthday parade in a letter to the new monarch.

Ahead of the coronation, PETA has released a video of “King Charles” and “Queen Consort Camilla” chatting while watching a procession of the King’s Guard.

PETA protesters descended on the Changing of the Guard ceremony to demand a change to faux fur for the King’s Guard’s caps.

Love Island star Faye Winter explains why she stripped off to demand the Queen’s Guard go faux.

Members of Parliament delivered impassioned speeches calling on the government to stop supporting the slaughter of bears for the Queen’s Guard’s caps.

Virginia Lewis-Jones, daughter of “the Forces’ Sweetheart” Dame Vera Lynn, appeals to the MoD to replace the bearskin caps with faux fur.

Fourteen hundred Queen’s Guard soldiers were present at the Trooping the Colour parade. That represents the deaths of at least 1,400 bears.
