My hat was a bear

The Queen's Guard in England uses hats made from bear skins. I did not know this. Did you?

It is unbeliavable that the english goverment buy these hats for their guards and hence supporting a very cruel industry. The headpieces could easily be made from faux fur (or fake fur). PETA is calling for everyone to support their campaign Stop the Slaughter of Bears for Caps as they are trying to take this matter to MPs, Ministry of Defence and Prince Charles.

Whale hunt on BBC's Human Planet - video clip

If you have time see bbc's human planet series for the breathtaking images of human's relationship with nature all over the world.

This video clip shows a whale hunt on Lembata island in Indonesia. The whale hunters only have small wooden boats and hand-made harpoons. To kill the whale they jump into the sea to harpoon the whale.

A very well done series with breathtaking images and acts of pure bravery and skills from people around the world. This whale hunt is very upsetting though because whales are such sophisticated animals who do not deserve to be hunted and killed. As such, it caused controvorsey with many viewers complaining about the impartiliaty of the BBC.

The BBC text reads like this:
"With simple wooden boats and hand-made weapons, the whalers seem ill-prepared for battle, but this is how whale hunting’s been done for six hundred years off the small Indonesian island of Lembata. After an epic eight hour battle the whale slowly tires and a final cut through its backbone is made. The death of a whale may be sad to us, but one catch can feed a village for months. This small scale hunt on Lembata doesn’t threaten whale numbers in these oceans."
