Fake news - Not doing anything would probably also be "successful".

Quackery of the month: Cincinnati Zoo uses chiropractic on tiger cub, adjusting spine to cure “failure to thrive”

Can we finally just say that acupuncture is nothing more than an elaborate placebo?; 1/25/18, 9:40 AM

No weed?

buwaya said...: They should have just shot them.
Even treating them this way is cruel.

There will be more bears along soon enough.; 1/25/18, 10:10 AM
Trumpit said...: I hope the bears recover fully. I live for bears; they are beautiful and brilliant. They may be released in the wild only to be killed by a heartless hunter. Therefore, we must outlaw hunting and trapping now. It is an anachronism and evil practice. I would put hunters in jail along with murderers, and rapists. I would build new prisons to house all the hunters and trappers. Put them to work making teddy bears for kids with cancer. Bears have bear rights; raccoons have raccoon right; deers have deer rights, etc. Hunters should lose their rights. There is no difference between murder and hunting by my lights.; 1/25/18, 10:53 AM

Darrell said...: Bears have a hard time getting prescriptions filled. Or written. What choice do they have but to go "holistic?"; 1/25/18, 12:12 PM
D 2 said...: If bears were in charge, would they pause and think:
We should give that burnt monkey a sugar drink.

If bears were in charge, would they ever sing with glee:
If dogs run free? Then why not me.
Or would they be, as they be

I live for heartless hunters; even the ones who are ugly and stupid.; 1/25/18, 1:45 PM
Trumpit said...: Meade,
So, I assume from your devotion to hunters that you want those injured bears shot to death. Let's make it clear who and what you live for. Animals in the forest were put there for target practice for Hoosiers and rednecks.; 1/25/18, 2:10 PM
buwaya said...: "Animals in the forest were put there for target practice for Hoosiers and rednecks."

Animals in the forest were put there as target practice for my Cro-Magnon forebears (yes, I meant to do that) as target practice for their spears, sticks and stones. And then as material for their post-prandial multimedia presentations.

You can still see these, in our homeland (when they are not limited viewing to keep the tourist traffic from ruining them) -
