Eco-activists from the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) organization have staged a naked protest in front of the UK Embassy in Sofia on Monday over the use of bearskin caps by the British Royal Guards.

The PETA members protest against the killing of black bears in Canada in order to use their fur for the making of the guards' busbies. One black bear has to be killed for every cap produced, the environmentalists say.

PETA Europe say also that 80% of the British oppose using the money from their taxes for the hunting of black bears in Canada, and for the production of the fur hats of the Royal Guard.

A rather pointless stunt. What's with the Union Jack bikinis?

PETA: that's the favourite cause of the fashion biz, if I remember correctly. No doubt these two are in fact models. Oh, Novinite, they are not "Eco-Activists", they're "Animal Rights Activists". I can't quite see these two lovelies scaling fences at Belene or climbing mountains to protest against illegal resorts. Just not enough "protest chic" or photo opportunities...

What is the most important conclusion from the Sofia Mayor elections on November 15, 2009?
That the ruling party GERB of PM Borisov continues to be hugely popular, whereas the Socialists are pretty much out.

That the decline of the Socialist Party has stopped whereas the ruling party GERB has failed to attract the expected very high number of voters.

That the Sofia residents are either completely disillusioned with politics, or care little about who is Mayor.

That the record-high jackpot of the Bulgarian State Lottery "Toto" generated much greater interest than the Mayor elections.
