It’s hard out there for an animal control officer.
The two hardy souls who take on that task for Rio Arriba County are fighting a losing battle. Loose, uncontrolled, un-spayed or un-neutered dog packs roam much of the County and there’s not much David Gasca and Cipie Maez can do about it.
The County is preparing to pass a tougher animal control ordinance but the task will still be daunting. Two men, one county the size of New Hampshire.
Add to that there’s really nothing they can do except write a citation that a judge won’t fine them on or the offender will get it tossed with the aid of elected officials.
Assistant county planner Louise Pocock couldn’t have said it better. “It’s a politically unpopular thing to do,” Pocock said. “The commissioners don’t want you going around citing their relatives.”
