Please take a few moments to visit the gallery. It has undergone some major design changes. New pictures will be arriving soon!
Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue Training offers training nationwide for emergency response community members such as firefighters, rescue squads, police, sheriff's and animal control offices, and large animal veterinarians. Over the last 10 years, the emergency community has begun to respond to these types of common incidents as the public has adopted a "911 call does it all" mentality, and have expressed a need for awareness and operational training in this specialty. The principles behind using slings and ropes for animal transport are not new, as shown in the National Geographic photograph below, Circa 1921. What the TLAER training course does is bring together in three days all of the latest concepts and equipment being used today. The course is updated constantly.
"'Throughout the whole region ... bridges are few and primitive,' wrote A.L. Shelton, author of 'Life Among the People of Eastern Tibet,' from the September 1921 National Geographic. This image of a precarious Mekong River crossing was first published in that issue. 'With his mount securely trussed to the rope bridge,' says the photo's caption, 'the owner supplies his own motive power, hand over hand, as he pulls himself and beast across the chasm with the river far below.'"
We teach emergency personnel how to more safely prepare for and approach
large animal incidents such as overturned and wrecked trailers or
livestock haulers, large animals loose on the road, large animals stuck
in mud or ravines, and incidents where people might be trapped with the
animal. There are too many stories of good-intended "heroic rescues"
where the animal or it's rescuer is injured during the rescue, or even
killed. Many of the rescue videos shown on TV demonstrate grotesque
breaches of safety and technical skills, when viewed by safety officers,
Paramedics, and Rescue experts.
