unbearable cruelty

The 'world famous' bearskin (hat) worn by the ceremonial Grenadier Guards will finally go. See the Guardian.



PeTA's campaign worked. Actually, I was surprised that bears in north America were still being hunted and killed just to make those hats.

Where bears skin comes from (warning - this may be highly disturbing)


I find any form of hunting despicable, being that it is some form of enjoyable leisure time activity or sport. Killing for pleasure is disturbing. To make an animal suffer is beyond redemption. Even rangers who need to kill bears because they are a danger to human life do so humanely using tranquilisers first (I hope).
