We support the idea behind this bill, but some types of emergency first aid, like CPR, have different techniques for humans vs animals. Ideally training would be required for first responders in the basics of animal first aid.

Comments
We support the idea behind this bill, but some types of emergency first aid, like CPR, have different techniques for humans vs animals. Ideally training would be required for first responders in the basics of animal first aid.
