Ceremonial Bearskins worn by foot regiments and as seen worn by guards outside the palace are real from culled bears. I didn’t know that.
I don't know why you say people haven't been protesting against fois gras or mink farms in Denmark Callistemon21
I've been campaigning against these monstrosities since my school days in the 1970s. Compassion in World Farming has been all over this since the 1960s and and Peta have been relentless on these issues for 40 years now.
Well done, Coastpath
I'm not sure it was generally known, though. The EU is always held up as having high standards but in fact, it is pretty disgraceful compared to the UK.
I must confess that, until I read that minks had escaped from farms in Denmark during Covid, I had no idea that this abominable practice was carried on in an EU country.
I knew about foie gras produced in France, of course, but have never touched it even when I was there, although the family I was with used to serve horsemeat (which I refused).
