But not a new trend. After we wrote about this donkey who’s wearing pants so his legs can heal, we found this picture from a 1937 Popular Science showing a cow being fitted with pants to keep away flies.
What’s next? Spats for chickens? Pigs in top hats? SKIRT STEAKS? Can we just generally merge the farming and menswear industries? I feel like both would benefit.
