The 'New Concept' service developed by an American animal shelter is giving laughter to office workers who are tired of working from home.
Foreign news sources, such as ABC in the US, on the 28th, reported that California's non-profit animal shelter 'Sweet Farm' has launched a new service to bring animals to video conferencing applications.
The animals being protected in the 'Sweet Farm' are a total of 125 animals, including goats, sheep, cows, pigs, and llamas, most of which are said to have been rescued from factory farms or animal abuse. The shelter has been running tour programs for businesses and schools to raise operating costs, but as the situation in Corona 19 became serious, it was unable to receive visitors.
In response, 'Sweet Farm' recently made use of the video conferencing application 'Zoom', and in view of the increased use, it has created a service that allows users to view live video of shelter animals on a conference screen. A number of companies have followed up on the news that they can hold meetings with goats grazing and llamas with peaceful expressions.
The founder of the shelter, Nate Salfeter, said that there have been over 3,000 applications for 'animal video conferencing' so far. "Thanks to the support of companies, we can provide free services to hundreds of schools that offer video lessons." Revealed.
He also explained the charm of the service by saying, "These animals don't know about 600 people are watching them on their mobile phones. So, they show 'natural' behavior that they never do when there are people around."
Users said that this service is more valuable because the animals on the screen are not only cute, but also 'happy animals' that are not abused or exploited.
