Editing Diaper (section)

===Animals===
Diapers and diaperlike products are sometimes used on [[pet]]s, [[animal testing|laboratory animal]]s, or [[working animal]]s. This is often due to the animal not being [[Housebreaking|housebroken]], or for older, sick, or injured pets who have become incontinent. In some cases, these are simply baby diapers with holes cut for the tails to fit through. In other cases, they are diaperlike waste collection devices.

The diapers used on primates, canines, etc. are much like the diapers used by humans. The diapers used on equines are intended to catch excretions, as opposed to absorbing them.

In 2002, the [[Vienna]] city council proposed that horses be made to wear diapers to prevent them from defecating in the street. This caused controversy amongst animal rights groups, who claimed that wearing diapers would be uncomfortable for the animals. The campaigners protested by lining the streets wearing diapers themselves, which spelled out the message "Stop pooh bags".<ref name=Horses1>{{cite news|title=Row as horses told to wear nappies|work=BBC News|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/sport/newsid_2271000/2271844.stm|date=September 20, 2002|access-date=February 21, 2008}}</ref> In the [[Kenya]]n town of [[Limuru]], donkeys were also diapered at the council's behest.<ref name=Donkey>{{cite news|title=Anger at Kenya donkey nappy plan|work=BBC News|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/6902309.stm|date=July 17, 2007|access-date=February 21, 2008}}</ref> A similar scheme in [[Blackpool]] ordered that horses be fitted with rubber and plastic diapers to stop them littering the promenade with dung.

Other animals that are sometimes diapered include female dogs when [[ovulation|ovulating]] and thus bleeding, and monkeys and apes or chickens.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Waters |first1=Michael |title=The booming business of luxury chicken diapers |url=https://theoutline.com/post/5608/bury-me-in-chicken-diapers |access-date=2 August 2018 |work=[[The Outline (website)|The Outline]] |date=2 August 2018}}</ref> Diapers are often seen on trained animals who appear on TV shows, in movies, or for live entertainment or educational appearances.
