Queen to be followed by man in bear suit! Activists howl over bearskin hats
By Cara New Associated Press Published May 16, 2005 LONDON -- The British army's towering bearskin hats have been a familiar sight outside royal palaces for almost 200 years, but some folks are hollering about the tradition. Animal-rights activists are demanding the hats, made from the pelts of North American black bears, be replaced by artificial fur, and one protester plans to follow Queen Elizabeth II in a bear costume when she visits Canada on Tuesday through May 25. | |

Wouldn't this be even better if the bear made humping motions in her direction at every stop? | |

Perhaps they have the wrong idea here. Instead of replacing the fur, maybe it's time to replace the hat. May I suggest...?:

Totally. I think the Queen should wear this on every public occasion. | |

hey, she came around on the whole Camilla thing, so there's hope - maybe she'll join the 21st century soon and do away with all that ghastly fur...
and no, i'm not calling Camilla a bear. | |

I thought they already were fake fur! I know that the royals replaced all of the ermine pelts on the crowns and cloaks a good few years back. I fail to see why they would not have changed the Coldstream Guards hats too. Happy is he who finds out the causes for things.Virgil (70-19 BC). Virgil was such a lying bastard! | |
