NEW ORLEANS, La. (CBS Local) – Acupuncture has been a common practice among humans for centuries, but now humans are using acupuncture to give a penguin a new lease on life. Veterinarian Cyndi Benbow and workers at Audubon Aquarium of the Americas are using the carefully placed needles to help their friend: a 36-year-old African penguin named Ernie. Ernie was hatched on New Year’s Day in 1982 and has become the third-oldest penguin raised in captivity. The ancient bird began to suffer from debilitating arthritis and has gone blind in one eye. The aquarium staff in New Orleans decided to try the alternative treatment to help the senior penguin swim again. Ernie’s 10-minute sessions with Dr. Benbow have reportedly given the penguin his mobility back. Acupuncture on penguins? Old bird gets new life after procedure at Audubon Aquarium. https://t.co/0Ucxv0DfXJ pic.twitter.com/7HcwaaY68e — New Orleans Advocate (@theadvocateno) June 18, 2018 “I’m just so overwhelmed right now watching this bird,” Audubon senior aviculturist Tom Dyer told The New Orleans Advocate . “You know, that is just the best. It’s emotional. It’s … wow. Thank you, Dr. Benbow.” “Watching his feet in a better position and watching him walk better and watching his life become more comfortable means the world,” Dyer added. The veterinarian who got Ernie back on his feet has reportedly been performing acupuncture on everything from lizards to horses since 2004. “It’s always good to have a challenge,” Benbow said. “Not that many people can say, ‘I did acupuncture on a penguin and really helped him out.’” The New Orleans staff added that they’re not the only professionals using acupuncture to treat animals, but the practice is not very widespread. According to CBS Chicago , pet owners have also started turning to alternative medicine to give their furry friends new life. Dog owners are trying everything from acupuncture, to hydrotherapy, to cannabis-infused treats to treat pain and inflammation.

New Orleans, LA (CBS Local)- New Orleans Saints defensive lineman Mitchell Loewen led a group of bystanders to help free a man trapped in his car after it had plunged from the fourth floor of a parking garage in the Central Business District of New Orleans on Sunday. According to the The Times-Picayune , Loewen and his family were having brunch at the Willa Jean bakery when the car crashed to the street. While Loewen’s back was to the window, he told the Times-Picayune that the car hitting the ground sounded like an explosion. When he turned around and saw the Mercedes Benz SUV lying on its roof, Loewen rushed outside to help. “There were a bunch of people standing around, but not approaching the car and I was like ‘What’s up, let’s help this guy,’” Loewen said Monday. “I mean, obviously there was someone in there, I wasn’t going to just stand by and watch. It was a life or death situation.” The man inside was pinned down by the car, so Loewen called over about 10 people from the crowd to help turn the car onto its side. The man was unconscious and according to the paper’s account, that’s when Loewen ripped the door off its hinges to be able to lean into the car and speak with the man. The bystanders then waited for the paramedics to arrive to get the man out of the car, fearing they might injure him further if they tried to move him. As of Monday, police were still investigating the cause of the crash, but they did say that the man involved was expected to survive.
