Ban the import of bear skin or fur

Closed 34 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to ban the import of bear skin or fur to the UK. This would include bearskins imported by the Ministry of Defence for the caps of the Queen's Guards.
It is cruel and unnecessary for bears to be killed for their skin or fur, and we want the import of bear skin and fur to be banned, so that the UK does not contribute to demand for these.
