Believe it or not, video conferencing can make significant contributions to organizations that are not directly involved in business operations. For instance, in Australia animal rescues ranging from kangaroos to camels (yes, there are camels in Australia) can be a grueling situation due to their difficulty yet they happen often enough that some means of coordination between the different parties involved is necessary. Unlike rescuing people during emergency situations, animals can (and often do) display unpredictable behaviors which, more often than not, cause aggressive actions that could result in either further injury to the animal or subsequent injuries to the rescuer.

The reason behind this is quite simple, animals, unlike people, are instinctive in nature and as such respond to emergency situations (i.e. falling into a ditch, getting caught in mud, getting their hoof caught in a fence, injury to their legs etc.) by instinctively trying to get themselves out of their predicament through force. Trying to rescue them requires coordination across multiple agencies in order to prevent their situation from getting worse. This is why this article will show why business conferencing technology from providers like Blue Jeans can be repurposed in order to help local organizations within Australia coordinate the services necessary to rescue animals when they are injured or need to be relocated due to the brush fires.

The Need for Coordination Across Multiple Agencies

All rescue attempts must be properly planned and timed endeavors with all the participants involved knowing what their roles are, how to communicate and finally the method that will be utilized in order to extricate the large animal from whatever situation they find themselves in. The reason behind this is quite simple, it has been shown by numerous amateur (involving untrained personnel from either the local community or the owner and a few friends) rescue attempts that improper, ill-planned and uncoordinated rescue attempts often result in not only the possibility of increased agitation of the animal but could also cause injuries to get worse, would actually cause injuries to occur on the animal or even injure the rescuers themselves due a rescue attempt going horribly out of control.

The problem though is establishing a proper means of coordination across different organizations. Each may think of their role in a certain way resulting in a considerable level of overlap. This is why utilizing video conferencing technology is so important since it allows real-time communication and collaboration of multiple agencies at the same time. This allows different groups to know what their roles are, how to accomplish them and what to do when it comes to resolving problems. Proper communication must be present between all rescuers involved to ensure that their actions are in conjunction with one another. This reduces the possibility of one team starting too late or too early which may actually cause a situation to get worse.

The Need for Communication During Euthanization Practices

There are unfortunately instances where an animal is beyond saving even after a rescue attempt has been attempted. This may be due to any number of circumstances such as severe damage to their internal organs, irreparable damage to their hind quarters or other such injuries that would prevent the animal from doing their regular routines. While it is unfortunate what must be understood is that the worth of most large domesticated animals is dictated by how well they do their jobs. For example, if a racehorse becomes lame (meaning that they can no longer walk nor run properly) this in effect makes it worthless since racing is the main value attributed to it.

Communicating the need for proper euthanization is essential across multiple agencies since one agency may continue to try to rescue an animal when the other clearly state that it is time to put it out of its misery. In cases like this, proper consensus is needed from the heads of the agencies and this is only possible through video conferencing since it allows each agency to voice their arguments for or against euthanization.

Based on what has been presented so far, you can see that animal rescue situations demand not only the removal of the animal from whatever obstacle, object or place that their currently situated in but such an action must take into consideration possible alternatives when it comes to removal due to the possibility of further injury to the animal, the level of agitation it displays, the possible danger a rescue attempt presents to a rescuer as well as the need for proper communication and collaboration across multiple agencies. This is why video conferencing services are so important for organizations that are part of such efforts since the coordination they help to provide is invaluable in making sure an operation goes well without further issues occurring.
