Because the black bear fur hat symbolizes Britain's powerful military power, the tradition of wearing the black bear fur hat in the Royal Guard has a history of more than 200 years, and it has never changed. Soldiers in black bearskin hats are the most elite troops in the British army. Elite force has been established for hundreds of years, and the black bear fur hat is their symbol.

In fact, the first to wear black bearskin hats was not British soldiers, but French soldiers. At that time, in order to make the soldiers look taller, French soldiers chose to wear black bearskin hats, which looked very intimidating. However, after the Battle of Waterloo, British soldiers began to wear black bearskin hats to show that the army was stronger than Napoleon's.

The British Ministry of Defence buys 50 black bearskin hats every year, but the cost of making black bearskin hats is very high. Every time you make a black bear fur hat, you need to pat a bear. Later, because this practice was too cruel, it was protested by many environmentalists. Britain tried to replace the black bearskin hat with a chemical fiber bearskin hat. However, because the hat made of chemical fiber is completely airtight and uncomfortable to wear, I finally changed back to the black bear leather hat.

But I think the black bearskin hat is actually very uncomfortable to wear. It is hot and heavy to wear. Although this tradition has been preserved for many years, the times are developing now, and there is absolutely no need to keep this tradition all the time. And this is also very harmful to bears. Now everyone is advocating the protection of wild animals, so this practice in Britain has been opposed by many people. ?
