Stephen Fry has backed an animal welfare campaign calling for an end to the use of real fur for bearskin caps worn by King’s Guards who guard Buckingham Palace.The actor narrated a PETA video purporting to show footage from an undercover investigator with hunters in Ontario, Canada.
He says: “Black bears like this are mercilessly killed by trophy hunters. Their fur may then be used to make the caps worn by the King’s Guard – purely ornamental headgear that serves no military purpose.”
