Controversy Over Guards' Bearskin Fur
The organization "Beta," along with 18 British Members of Parliament and a member of the House of Lords, called for replacing natural bear fur on royal guard hats with synthetic alternatives, considering that continuing its use does not align with modern ethical standards. British Ministry of Defence data indicates they plan to purchase 22 hats in 2024 and 96 in 2025, which likely means the death of at least the same number of Canadian bears, as making one hat requires the skin of at least one bear. The Ministry of Defence has expressed support for switching to synthetic fur but has stipulated that the model must pass water resistance, appearance, and quick-drying tests, indicating their readiness to cooperate with "Beta" to develop the alternative.
