UK Canada fur bears bear skinning racist MoD Queen's guards' hats
Sarah from peta2 UK wants to tell you about a new investigation. Check it out.
-Marta
A shocking new video has been released that is full of inhumane and barbaric behaviour—slaughter, skinning and racism.
Caught on camera, bear skinners were secretly filmed cutting the skin off the corpse of a black bear, adding in some racial slur for good measure. These skins are sold at the same auctions where the Ministry of Defence buys furs to make the Queen's guards' hats.
There is no excuse for racism and there is definitely no excuse for the Queen to support the killing of black bears for their fur. The MoD is taking too long to make the right decision—ditch the bear skins and go faux.
So long as the Queen's guards' caps continue to be made from bear skins, they will only ever be a symbol of cruelty at its worst.
Watch the footage here—but be warned of the graphical content and colourful language. After you watch the video, send an e-mail to Quentin Davies, MP the new minister in charge of procurement for the MoD.
God Save the Bears!

Waitaminute- those ridiculous hats aren't made of bearskin anymore are they?
Just a few months ao it was on the news that the MoD had found some new synthetic material under pressure from a certain PETA...
I can draw only one conclusion from this.
The government LIED.
And why we still have a queen in the first place is beyond me- all she ever seems to do is wave, get her picture taken for stamps, have birthdays and take up valuable broadcast time at Xmas.
Just wait until Im old enough to vote...
