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.

I think seal-pup hats would look better.

I'd like to take that meeting.

"Gentlepersons of PETA, welcome.

"On behalf of the Royal Guards Regiment, I would like to extend to you our response to your demands with regard to Regimental Headgear. The message reads,

"'Bugger Off'.

Thank you, and farewell."

The PETA folks are sad, maladjusted and undernourished. Be kind to them. Just like they were kind enough to kill the animals in the shelters to “save them”
Pity the weakminded for they shall be buried in the earth.
