Look at some cities Animal Control officers - athletic guys, black uniform, black high boots - real Warriors-Stormtroopers protecting the defenseless community from that kitten.

As an urban farm nerd I've experienced this first hand in western Canada, "the chickens smell" indeed and??? "Our bylaws are so poorly written we can fine you $10,000 a day for your 6 urban chickens subjectively having a smell" ... Plus bylaw officers can enter property without a warrant, they've got more rights then the police! And yet they don't know how to determine if animals are kept in appropriate conditions/can't tell if animals in your care are healthy etc. It's like a montey python sketch IRL!

Loose dogs can injure or kill random people they come across. Why would you mention kittens when approximately 0% of their time is spent dealing with kittens? I have no idea what animal control outfit you're talking about, but maybe they wear high boots because they go out into fields often for their work and it's more appropriate for than environment than wearing sneakers.

		>Loose dogs can injure or kill random people they come across. In theory - may be. On practice - typical fear mongering. The dogs in US cities are very docile, and those couple times (over 26 year here) i saw lost dogs they were pretty skittish about strangers. >Why would you mention kittens when approximately 0% of their time is spent dealing with kittens? you again have no idea what you're talking about. > I have no idea what animal control outfit you're talking about yep. > but maybe they wear high boots because they go out into fields often for their work and it's more appropriate for than environment than wearing sneakers. again pure theory. It was an urban AC. And neighboring ACs wear normal dark shoes. There are a lot of high boots if one needs it, yet these ones were obviously designed/chosen to complete the Stormtrooper look (tactical pants into the boots, etc.). No wonder they had these athletic youngish guys working there - in all other ACs that i've seen the mix of the people has been much more diverse.
