Doukhobor women pulling a plow on the Canadian prairies.
I still don't understand the whole people-doing-animal-work thing. Is it just a weird anomaly?

Two quotes from the Wikipedia article on the Doukhobors...

Verigin convinced his followers to free their "brethren" (animals) and pull their wagons and plows themselves.

More proof that religious fundamentalism can short circuit neural pathways.
