Use of animals in clinical practices beyond animal-assisted therapy

Many hospitals across the country have incorporated animal programs, such as AAT, animal-assisted activities, "animal-assisted interactions or interventions," resident animals, or pet visitation to give patients the opportunity to interact safely with dogs and to make the hospital environment more comfortable and less stressful [7]. [...]against plagues of locusts: if the speech of starlings was known, who eat and destroy locusts, and their movements could be regulated, what valuable services they could be employed in free of charge. [...]this Ayat traces the furthest limit in subjugating birds and benefiting from them in this way, and in making lifeless beings speak like a telephone or gramophone, and in profiting from birds. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, we would like to emphasize that AAT that includes the use of many animals, especially dogs and horses, have a positive effect on many diseases in both children and adults Second, we think that many animals such as horses, cats, birds and fishes can be successfully used as complementary treatment in patients with various disorders such as mental disability, motor retardation, vision and hearing problems, as well as mental health problems. [...]the Quran foretold that animals could be used in the service of humans and that animals could be employed in important works through the Prophet Sulaiman's (AS) story over 1,400 years ago.
