From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

While lolcats, grumpy cats, dogs in tights, and animal beards have already conquered the Internet, the latest online pet trend has taken a cold blooded twist.

Rather than cute cats and dogs doing adorable things, images of snakes wearing hats are now littering forums.

Despite reptiles not being everyone's cup of tea, it seems that sticking a tiny hat on the animals has made the world love them.

While the thought of touching a snake may still send a shiver down many a person’s back, few can deny the hilarity of the images, even if they aren’t quite near the cute levels of Boo the Pomeranian dog.

And this being the Internet, it isn’t long until the trend develops its own sub categories - lizards in sombreros and Santa hats are already cropping up.
