Joss Stone Bares All For PETA Against Queen’s Guards’ Bear Hat
Written by Vegetarian Star on February 7th, 2011 in Animal Issues, Fashion, Female Singers.
Vegetarian Joss Stone has bared all in an ad for PETA urging the Ministry of Defense to stop using bearskin in the hats worn by the Queen’s guards and instead switch to synthetic fur.
“Bears suffer and die for the Queen’s Guards’ caps,” the ad reads. “Support the campaign to end this cruelty.”
British designer Stella McCartney has worked on a synthetic version of bear skin called Bear28 that is said to pass the crucial tests the MoD requires for hats, including being water repellent.
McCartney’s designs would also be cheaper and weigh less than real fur.
According to PETA, it takes an entire bear just to make one hat.

Joss Stone is amazing. This vintage vocalist has never consumed meat, poultry or fish during her entire life.
