Alan Abel:

Indecent Animals?

During the 1960s and 1970s, prankster Alan Abel convinced people that hundreds of publicity stunts he made up were true events. One was a campaign to get animals to wear clothes. Abel wrote to several magazines and explained that he wanted to relieve animals of the shame they felt from living life in the nude. To his amazement, magazine editors took him seriously.
