Watch Bryan Adams Deliver Firey Critique of Canadian Armed Forces’ Use of Bearskin Caps
Welcome to Music Nation 365, where we bring you the latest news and updates from the world of music. Today, we dive into a compelling story about Bryan Adams, the legendary musician known for hits like “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You,” who is now using his platform to advocate for animal rights.
In a recent video shared exclusively with Billboard, Adams partnered with PETA to shed light on the cruel practices behind the Canadian Armed Forces’ use of bearskin caps. The Grammy winner narrates how bears are lured in by recreational hunters in Ontario, only to face a gruesome death for their fur. The graphic footage reveals the heartbreaking reality of these animals suffering slow, painful deaths just to make ceremonial headgear.
Adams passionately calls out the Canadian government for endorsing this cruelty when military-grade faux bear fur is readily available as a humane alternative. PETA U.K. and luxury faux furrier ECOPEL have even developed a state-of-the-art faux fur to replace the use of real bear fur in the military caps.
While the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces claim to have transitioned to synthetic fur where possible, Adams continues to advocate for a complete shift towards fur-free alternatives. He urges the Canadian government to end the use of real bear fur in military attire.
But animal rights advocacy is not the only cause close to Adams’ heart. Earlier this year, he released “Someone’s Daughter, Someone’s Son,” a song written for a documentary highlighting the global issue of homelessness. Adams uses his music as a powerful tool to raise awareness and inspire change on important social issues.
