Well I just finished watching RSPCA Animal Rescue (Channel 7, 7:30pm Weds).... One of the rescues on their was the rescue of a crow.
A True Blue Tree Service (Situated in QLD) was the company that performed the rescue. (
A True Blue Tree Service) - Only Internet linky they have.
Well as it went, they were called out for a rescue for a crow that got its feet tangled up in the nest on some twine and was dangling upside down. The tree (Euc. spp.) was over 30 metres tall... As the show called them: The Treeloppers turned up and went up this tree in gaffs, no ppe and also when they cut down the branch he one handed his 200.
The main point i'm getting at is he gaffed up the tree for an animal.. I know in the instance of a human rescue we don't consider the tree, but what is the legislation for a crow/animal?
And at the end of the show, they were such "good blokes" and rescued the crow for free. I wonder how many hundreds of quotes they're going to get for him gaffing up a tree, cutting one handed with NO PPE. After all that they put the crow down anyway.
I recorded it on my dvd recorder so I'll have the vid' up and going very soon.
