Bear trailing the Royals

It takes up to just one Canadian black bear to make one of the Queen's guard's bearskin caps that you see around Buckingham palace. Canadian bears are brutally slaughtered every year to make new caps, yet PETA has offered numerous styles of faux bearskin hats for the Ministry of Defense to start using - including one designed by Stella McCartney. Even Members of the British Parliament have passed a bill supporting the end to the real bearskin caps. PETA's bear has been following the royals for years to all of their public events at home and abroad. Below are photos from the Bear following the Queen around Canada.
