There is a major problem with this law or how it is written. It dose not lay out what extreme is. It needs to list temps above ??? degrees or temps ??? below degrees. We have the data to support what is dangerous for a animal in a car why not list it in the law. I don't have a problem with the EMS part but if you a citizen breaks into my car and it is lets say 71 degrees or lets say 35 degrees and try to steal my family member yes my fur baby. Well lets just say EMS will be responding!!!! It is the problem with all feel good laws gun laws and environmental laws the are not specific and leave to much open for interpretation.
Even in the low 70's a closed up vehicle can become too hot on the inside for a pet. Pet owners need to educate themselves on the dangers of leaving them in an enclosed vehicle.
