Câțiva parlamentari britanici vor ca blana de urs de la căștile gărzilor regale să fie înlocuită cu una sintetică
Eighteen members of the House of Lords urged the UK government to stop using real bear fur for ceremonial guards' hats, advocating for synthetic alternatives. They argue that the current practice is unjustifiable and does not meet modern ethical standards. The letter highlights the ongoing killing of bears for their fur, which leads to orphaned cubs. Animal rights group PETA supports this initiative, noting that a single hat requires the fur of at least one bear. They call for urgent research into synthetic fur alternatives to end the UK's support for wildlife killings abroad.
