We all know that hats are lovely there are big ones, small ones, some as big as your head  but they're not quite so lovely when they're made out of the fur of bears. Yes, those silly hats which the Queen's 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,have you ever heard anything so ridiculous? They are killing bears , 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 discussing 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 tradition. 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.
