It’s interesting that his official government website doesn’t really have any basic defenses. It allows you to message him without even making up a fake address in his district. Doesn’t even seem to check to see if you enter in bogus information like a phone number with all 5s. Also interesting that outside of hours calls to his office go right to a non-full mailbox.
I do hope no one just calls outside of their posted hours and leave long messages talking about nothing or uses the website to contact him.
Please no one do things like that.
Furry here and just want to say: isn’t this entire discussion super disrespectful to the important job that animal control personnel actually do?
Like, animal control has an important role in protecting communities from animals and helping animals that are injured. They shouldn’t have to be dragged into this stupid outrage farming.
If I worked for animal control and some dipshit school administer asked be to come collect a human child from their school, they would receive the following with the minimum amount of tact needed to keep my job:
- “I don’t care that’s it’s a law – that law was written by morons. You’re a moron too.”
- Variations of “What the hell is wrong with you?”, “I don’t work for you”, and “Go fuck yourself”.
I’d like to think most of the people actually employed as animal control officers would respond the same way.
I work in animal control.
It wouldn’t even get to that point because as soon as our admin called me, I’d laugh and refuse the job. No animal control person will do this, it’s a fucking ludicrous idea and absolutely filled with issues to be sued over.
Kid doesn’t willfully come? Do I use a catch pole and drag him out of school? He’ll be dead before we get to the front doors. Everybody is sued.
What if the kid attacks me, tries to stab me etc because I’m basically attempting to execute the function of the police with no training (yes yes, I know the cops have fuck all training but at least they are legally able to restrain etc, they are in the legal position to deal with it). I’ll take an angry dog over a kid with a knife any day.
In short- the guy is an absolute fuckwit and this idea makes no sense.
I once met a person that was made to believe that “animal-kin” children were being given their own litter boxes in a similar way that transgender children would get their own bathrooms.
The issue with the people who think like this is that they see a few things not like them (a few transgender people) and extrapolate it to utter nonsense (millions of children declaring themselves animals and demanding litter boxes).
If they would think about what they are saying; they would reliaze that their claims are impossible. But then again, they are in their own reality where everything they do makes sense…?
I’m sorry for using such an absurd example but it’s a thing older conservatives I know actually believe in.
I know I’m late to the party, but my go-to refutation is “Ok, name one school that’s doing that. Go ahead and look it up on your phone.”
Then point out if a single school actually did have litter boxes for the kids the name of the school and everyone involved would be easy to find. It’s not something that could be kept secret: just one person has to say something – a kid talking to their relative, faculty, a parent, etc. Once that happened FOX, OANN, etc would be on that like flies on shit … and they would name and shame.
But they aren’t, because it’s bullshit.
Oh you have no idea how far that rumor spread. School systems had to issue public denials. One not that far from me did-
There were apparently some schools that had cat litter around because children can’t go to toilets during school shooting lockdowns, which is terrible in its own way.
I think that’s also made up propaganda. Kitty litter is used by janitorial staff basically everywhere (at least in the US) to clean up vomit and other semi-wet solids. Children are prolific pukers so it’s not surprising that basically every school has a bunch of kitty litter in their janitorial closets.
And assholes should be required to be picked up by proctologists.
Lol I read about this while hanging out at a furry con after fursuiting for five hours
