    Why was a cop even involved here? Doesn’t animal control exist for situations like this? Yknow, like someone actually trained to handle animals instead of someone trained to behave like an animal?

      I live in a decent size county, and our three animal control agents only works four hours a day six days a week and all calls go through 911. So if animal control aren’t available, I could see 911 sending a cop…although he had an animal lasso, so maybe they do both jobs in that city.
