The naked demonstrators were there to protest the continued use of real bearskin for The Queen’s Guards’ ceremonial caps. Bears killed for the caps may suffer for days in traps or die of blood loss or infection after being shot. When mother bears are killed, their orphaned cubs are easy prey for predators—if they don’t starve to death first.
