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.
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.

It’s for show, pandering to the right wing base. They want those they deem as lesser to suffer.
It won’t actually happen.
Government is speedrunning a civil war by punishing 2 groups of people at the same time, for absolutely no reason.
