Students flock to pet animals for their mental health

Could some furry, feathered and even scaly friends help students look after their mental health? The Students' Union at St Mary's University College in west Belfast certainly think so. As part of a week of activities and events to help students with their mental health, the students' union have arranged for a variety of animals to come to the campus for a day. Students have flocked to pet the rabbits, gerbils, alpacas and even a turkey and a snake.
