Hannah the Komodo dragon had an aching back
And longed for acupuncture in a land called Palm Beach
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Hannah
And brought her cannabis and other homeopathic remedies which had recently been legalized in some of the more Liberal of the 50 states
After a similar story was published a few years ago, a veterinarian colleague almost blew a gasket.
A human being can suppress the reaction to having needles poked into their body, especially if that human believes those needles would have therapeutic effect.
An animal has no clue about the mythology of acupuncture. And those cruel people are going to poke that poor creature with dozens of needles?
As my veterinarian colleague fumed, that poor animal has no idea what is going on, and as far as it knows, it is being tortured to death. What a painful, frightening experience to impose on a helpless beast.
Love that friendly stare.

I took my elderly Labrador Retriever to a holistic vet for accupuncture during the last year of his life. He actually enjoyed it, the vet was skilled at distracting him and keeping the needles out of his sight. He didn’t flinch or react at all to the treatment and he did act like he felt better for several days afterwards, more mobile, more active and energetic, very little groaning or problems standing up. Pretty cheap all said, $25.00 per treatment. I took him twice a month.
The ACA covers komodo dragons?
It resides on the island of Komodo, which is in the lesser sundachain oif the Indonesian archipelago.
It is a ferocious carnivore, and one swipe of its gigantic tail can render an enemy senseless.
How do they know it is in pain?
Freegards
Do Bob and Ray know?
Wonder how that “conversation” took place?
