New York City lawmakers are proposing a bill to let workers take time off to care for their sick pets This is just like they would of a family member fell sick and they take out time to nurse them back to wellness

The proposal, sponsored by city council member Shaun Abreu, would amend and expand the Earned Safe and Sick Time Act to include pets and service animals.

That's great news for pet owners in New York City. Pets are family, and they are God's beautiful creatures, so it's indispensable for pet owners to have the opportunity to take time off when their pets are ill. I hope other countries will follow suit.

I guess pet owners there would be happy about this, though hope some persons won't use this to their advantage.
