Steve, this guy doesn't really want any help. He's going to believe what the man in uniform tells him. He's not going to do any research on his own that can't be done from his computer.

He's not going to insist that he see the ordinance in writing. He's not going to insist that he know just who is supposed to enforce animal related ordinances and/or laws. He's just not going to do what you would and find out exactly what the scoop is.

Well, it seems that way anyhow. I hope I'm wrong but I've seen this before, scenario wise, and it generally winds up with no one happy except the original complainant.

Eh, you tried, I tried, others tried.
