Ricky Gervais makes fur plea

Ricky Gervais has asked Gordon Brown to ban the use of black bear fur on the hats of the royal guards. “The issue I am writing to you about today is not a laughing matter,” the comedian wrote in an open letter to the Prime Minister on behalf of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. “I understand and appreciate the importance of uniforms, but continuing to use real fur in the 21st century is inexcusable, regardless of 'tradition'. The public are relying on you to bring about a humane changing of the guards.”
