Reiki
When you're involved with animals you naturally encounter a few mentalist people. There's one or two I know who think they are Doctor Dolittle's and have a special empathy with animals. We've got a pair of Amur Leopards up at the Trust who are a bit snarly when you initially approach them, in contrast to the snowies we have who are completely blissed out. The trick is to let the Amur's have their snarl, respect their space, and they calm down. It's as natural a process as that.

One of these Doctor Dolittle's administers Reiki on them and genuinely thinks this is why they might settle down. I don't know what it is about her, but they generally completely ignore her efforts and continue growling; basically telling her to go away.

Sigh

It has been scientifically proven that Reiki is 100% effective

Worse was yet to come. She once gave me a lift from the trust to Welwyn Garden City station to catch my train back to London where I naively agreed to join them for a cup of tea at a Costa. I'm sat there sipping away when for some reason they started doing Reiki on one another across the table. I was absolutely mortified, but my tea was to hot to throw down my gob in one go and me make hurried excuses and rush off. I had to sit there and endure it. I wanted the ground to swallow me up
