[edit] Requested move
From dog catcher to animal control.
- Support I believe the name "animal control" better describes the functions of these departments. EdwinHJ | Talk 21:21, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- Support Yeah, that's probably true. I don't hink there's any such thing as a "cat catcher", for example. Elf | Talk 00:09, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
- This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. –Hajor 01:46, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] elective office
Is there any evidence that dog catcher has ever been an elective office anywhere? AJD 16:22, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Back when AJD first asked this question, I spent about an hour doing web searches trying to confirm that someone, somewhere, anywhere, ever elected dog catchers. Couldn't find anything on the web. It probably is just an ancient facetious way of looking at the lowest of low possible elected offices. Elf | Talk 00:09, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

- I've removed the undocumented assertion that dogcatcher is or was an elective office. An overwhelming amount of Google hits show this as either a hired position, or an extra duty of sheriff's deputies. If someone comes with a cite to the contrary, well, they can put it right back in. Otherwise, it doesn't belong. 68.158.119.212 12:58, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
