Why 40 donkeys in the UK are wearing pyjamas and 'don-gerees': The surprising solution that's protecting them while giving old clothes a second life

Rescued donkeys at The Donkey Sanctuary are wearing pyjama bottoms and don-gerees this summer. This creative solution protects their legs from painful fly bites during warm weather. The adapted clothing prevents irritation and sores, offering continuous protection to the animals. Old garments are being repurposed, reducing textile waste and giving clothes a new life. This initiative by the sanctuary supports animal welfare and promotes sustainability.
