What is the first piece of information to obtain when receiving an injured animal?

Name and address of the rescuer
Type of injury sustained
Animal's species
Location where found

The correct answer is: Name and address of the rescuer

When receiving an injured animal, the first piece of information to obtain is the name and address of the rescuer. This information is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it enables you to follow up with the rescuer if additional information or clarification is needed about the circumstances of the animal's injury or situation. Secondly, having contact information ensures that you can reach out in case the animal has any further needs or if there are updates regarding its status or care required. This can also be vital in the event that the animal has to be returned to its original location or if more information is necessary for legal or regulatory reasons. While details about the type of injury sustained, the animal's species, and the location where the animal was found are also important, these pieces of information can be collected after establishing a reliable contact with the rescuer. Prioritizing the contact details helps to create a responsible and effective response to the situation.
