The Ministry of Defence is to meet an animal rights group to discuss alternatives to the bearskin hats worn by guards at Buckingham Palace.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) has approached Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney to design a new shape for the 18in hat.
The charity has previously called for fake fur to be used, but said the MoD was not happy with prototype designs.
Baroness Taylor, minister for defence procurement, will meet Peta on Tuesday.

The fact that they're giving these lunatics the time of day is depressing enough, but the fact that changing the bearskin in the hats WILL NOT SAVE A SINGLE BEAR is lost on them, as the bears are killed as part of a cull, they are not killed specifically to create these busby hats...

I think as a modest proposal, that we should be using human hide for the Bussbys.
Johnathan Swift would have liked that.
Of course some PETA members could donate theirs to save a bear!

Just wait until PETA starts ripping into Palin and her Parents Hey! The more leftwing kooks ripping her, the better. If she is a terrible choice that nobody knows anything about, why all this hysteria from the left and their toady comrades in the MSM? This reminds me of all of the seminar callers always calling Rush and Hannity telling them to stop trashing Obama or Hillary because all this trashing is helping them win. If it's helping them, why would anyone want Rush and Hannity to knock it off. LOL!!!

Perhaps we could use skinned PETA heads for the hats - if we can stand the ugliness.

If PETA only knew...I have a seal coat..Bought it for $4.00 at a garage sale. It was about 100 years old. The fur was still perfect. Just needed a new lining. Very awesome...softer than velvet.
