British symbol sparks debate on guards' headwear
A group of British lawmakers has gathered to emphasize the need to end the use of bear fur in the Guards' bearskin hats, which are considered an iconic symbol in London. Eighteen Members of Parliament and members of the House of Lords have called on the government to adopt synthetic alternatives instead of the bear pelts obtained through organized killings in Canada. The campaign is based on ethical and humane considerations, with reports indicating that making a single hat requires the killing of at least one bear. Between 2017 and 2024, more than 526 bear pelts have been used to produce these hats. The British government has announced that it is considering replacing the hats with synthetic fur materials, explaining that this transition would involve passing multiple tests to ensure quality and suitability. They also reaffirm their commitment to supporting efforts that promote animal welfare and sustainability.
