At PETA, we remember Queen Elizabeth II for evolving with the times and, although there had been no stigma attached to wearing fur when she rose to the throne, chose kindness over cruelty in recent years by banishing fur from her wardrobe. The Queen lived a life in service to British values, and we are respectfully requesting that the Ministry of Defence honour her legacy by replacing the bears\u2019 fur used to make the royal guards\u2019 caps with faux fur fit for the 21st<\/sup> century monarch of an animal-loving nation. In this period of transition, a changing of the King\u2019s Guard\u2019s caps would spare these magnificent animals\u2019 lives and represent the continued evolution of our modern monarchy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

PETA\u2014whose motto reads, in part, that \u201canimals are not ours to abuse in any way\u201d\u2014opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview.
