REVIEW RECEIVED AUGUST 15, 2008
Dear Tomas & Rebecca
 You surprised us with a copy of the book "Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue". Initially, I wanted to scan or screen it quickly, obtain an impression and to provide you with an assessment - that did not work as I had anticipated.
  You have created a substantial text. It reflects a decade or more of hard work, daily vigilance, frequent corrections resulting in a very impressive opus. One has to take it bite-size and have to digest what you managed to convey before reading on. No quick browsing. Rebecca obviously has a talent for technical writing, which could be developed in a career. What you did... is greatly admired by us.
  We thank you both for making your book available to us. Keep the good work going!
With our very best wishes,
Drs.Wolfgang and Maria Jochle

TLAER / LARGE ANIMAL RESCUE TEAMS

There are numerous emergency services agencies, rescue organizations, veterinarians, animal control services, and other members of the public that have attended the TLAER course and have come to realize just how important this training is and the inherent need for a large animal rescue team.  Overtime, they have managed to compile a list of resources, obtain equipment and additional training, and develop their own Large Animal Rescue Team to assist other agencies with and handle large animal rescue incidents.  Follow the link to a list of large animal rescue teams currently in operation... Large Animal Rescue Teams
