Our recent post on this issue:
It is excellent that Stephen wants to now support the campaign to stop guards using real bear fur in their hats.
For non UK residents; Stephen Fry is primarily a television actor and celebrity; but also a broadcaster and writer, as well as being an incredibly intelligent man who has hosted a television show called ‘QI’ which has run for years and asks celebrities about different issues – take a look as he (quizmaster in middle with yellow tie) attempts to keep the rest of the celebrity rabble in order; and seriously fails !!
And now Stephen Fry wants King’s Guard to ditch bear fur in support of the bears and animal welfare campaigners who have campaigned about this for years.
Stephen Fry has called for an end to the use of real fur in the bearskin caps worn by the King’s Guard on duties such as guarding Buckingham Palace.
The actor has backed an animal welfare campaign calling for fake fur to be used rather than real bear fur.
Quite a big story from the BBC; read it in full here:
As campaigners we very much welcome the support given by Stephen – now this issue for many years may move on more with celebrity backing.
We say – Disgusting that beautiful bears are still being killed for soldiers hats. Ministry of Defence (MoD) you have a real fight on with us all now !
Regards Mark
