Is it cruel to make your pet wear clothes?

I do believe it depends on the weather.

If it's relatively warm outside, a pet should not be wearing a jacket, a sweater or anything else an owner deems to be "cute." I've seen owners put coats on their dogs when it's 20 degrees Celsius.

I also think it's wrong to force your dog to wear a costume just to make him or her look "cute." I've covered the Woofstock up here in Toronto for work and I always see the same thing every year and the dogs always look miserable or sad.
