I would never have dreamed of posing nude, but when PETA showed me the footage of the bears being shot and skinned just for the sake of these ornamental guards caps I decided to be brave and show some of my skin in the hope that the MoD will let the bears keep theirs.

Says Kate Ford as she bares it all for a PETA ad campaign. Earlier in 2005, she had posed for an anti-fur ad for the same organization. However, this time, the Coronation Street star does it for bears in her first birthday suit. The sexy ad, shot by photographer Karl Grant shows her next to the slogan: "Bare Skin, Not Bearskin". The poster goes on to read: “Bears suffer and die for The Queen's Guards' caps. Support the campaign to end this cruelty. Visit PETA.org.uk.”
By making this ad, PETA wishes to persuade the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to stop killing bears for the Buckingham Palace Guards' ceremonial headgear.
