Alpaca and Llama Therapy

[Laika]

The Guardian has published a series of pictures from an old people's home in Germany, where they have now allowed Alpaca to make regular animal visits as an alternative form of therapy. I feel better just looking at it!

There are more picture available on the link if you are interested. Enjoy!

That is really lovely.

Now I wish there were a Viṣṇu avatāra in the form of an alpaca. I would be one of his greatest devotees!

It seems innocent enough -but don't be fooled -this is how the alpacalypse starts

They are very clean non smelly animals. They only poo and urinate in the same place every time. unlike cattle sheep and horses who do so when ever the fancy takes them.
They also make excellent guard animals. and will see off and even kill dogs and foxes, if they attack their adopted flock.

Miniature ones stand about 32" at the sholder and weigh between 100 and 150 pounds.
so not quite lap dog sized in any way. They can be friendly rather than affectionate.
