Tirto, a Komodo dragon, is treated with acupuncture by Dr. Oh Soon Hock at the Singapore Zoological Gardens for the first time Monday, Aug. 18, 2003 in Singapore. The 8-year-old Komodo dragon, weighing 42 kg (92 pounds) and measuring 2.3 meter (7.5 feet) long from Indonesia, had been experiencing difficulty in swallowing and eating. When initial treaments did not yield much result, the zoo turned to veterinarian Oh Soon Hock, who traced meridian points along Tirto's back, from the skull to the base of the spine. He is attempting to stimulate these vital points to free energy blockages. At the same time, antibiotics are applied to provide a more holistic therapy.(AP Photo/The Straits Times)

Giant Komodo Dragon Receives Acupuncture

What did they use, a knitting needle?

Never lend money to a man named Oh Soon Hock.

That's insanity. If that thing decides to take a piece out of him there's nothing he can do to stop it.

The saliva is poisonous as well so that would add a whole other level of danger to this idiocy.

Lemme tell you something about Komodo Dragons...

...when those "energy blockages" DO get freed...they'll need a blood blockage for nice Dr. Hock...because his head will not be doing the job for him anymore.

Also...I suppose they're feeding Mister Dragon dead food (yuck), bacause otherwise, the antibiotics would kill the bacteria in his mouth, which they use to infect whatever/whoever they bite...let it run off and fester...then find it by smell...and OH do it smell by that time !
