>> I used to work for Baumer County Animal Control and we dealt with dogs and cats only,
and when we came out to your house to give you information on your dog
or cat you would complain about wildlife and we would have
to tell ya there's nothing we do for it.
So after about four years of hearing complaints I figured there had to be a field for it
so I bought a few traps, started setting them on the weekends.
I've been doing this for seven years,
but I started Animal Control 20 years ago trapping for friends and neighbors.
>> Wow. And how did you get into animal control?
What led you down that path?
>> Just a love for animals.
I had a misnomer.
I thought animal control for Baumer County meant you were taking care of animals.
Actually, what it meant was you're giving out fine for dogs barking, fecal matter in the yard
and you're picking up owned pets and putting them to sleep.
So it really wasn't satisfying.
You asked before what I liked about my job best.
I get to send them in to do the dirty work [laughter].
I stand here with the camera.
