Ban The Queens Guards Wearing Bearskin!

We all know that hats are lovely %u2013 there are big ones, small ones, some as big as your head %u2013 but they%u2019re not quite so lovely when they%u2019re made out of the fur of bears. Yes, those silly hats which the Queen%u2019s Guards wear are made from the fur of Canadian black bears. These bears suffer agonising deaths when they are shot or when they bleed to death in traps, and they sometimes leave behind nursing cubs who then starve to death. I mean, really %u2013 have you ever heard anything so ridiculous? They are killing bears %u2026 for hats!

PETA is asking the queen and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to switch to a cruelty-free synthetic material for the hats, but while the queen and MoD are %u201Cdiscussing%u201D it, bears are still being killed. This is where you can make a difference! We need you to get behind this campaign and spread the word so that we see an end to this cruel %u201Ctradition%u201D. Here are some ways for you to help save the Canadian bears from their miserable ends and earn some free stuff for yourself for your trouble!


Write to that lot in government.
Get writing for the bears! Send letters and e-mails to your MP, to the queen and to the MoD telling them you do not support the violent killing of bears and that you want to see a synthetic material used for the hats. If you are a British citizen, you have a say in what happens here, so make your voice heard.

Contact your MP here.
