Music cure diseases for animals
One morning, it was discovered that the Cassie cow was breathing heavily and stomping his feet. Not understanding what made him uncomfortable but the owner tried to comfort him by turning on the harp music disc. 20 minutes later, he began to fall asleep.
The healing power of music has long been defined in humans. Now a group of harp musicians in the US are also gathering resources to treat animals. " The harp is considered to be the best healing instrument after the human voice ," said Alianna Boone, a musician who plays a pet healing instrument and has produced the CD Harp Music to Soothe the Savage Beast .
(Photo: Reuters) Boone has conducted a study on the effect of harps on animals . In 2000, she performed for dogs in the Florida Veterinary Institute. The 1-hour performance reduced heart rate, anxiety and respiratory rhythm for many animals.
Dogs are not the only animals that benefit from these sounds. Cassie, a dairy cow living at Maple Farm in Mendon, was sent to the Florida Veterinary Institute after jumping over a 2-meter-high fence to flee a slaughterhouse. Although its life is good, there are inevitable signs of anxiety and depression. It has been found that music can lull it to sleep when the animal is angry.
At the Franklin Zoo in Boston, a group of gorillas were also very excited about the piano show a few years ago. The smallest animal, called Little Joe, sent a kiss on the wind before falling asleep.
Both pets and wildlife can benefit from music therapy, but not every one reacts."It's not a miracle pill. But for animals that work, it has very good results , " said Diane Schneider, a harp musician.
"I really hope that more and more people will use music therapy for animals. It is both economical, effective and good for animals and animal lovers, " Schneider said.
