What are the downsides to being an A.C.O (Animal Control Officer)? I think it would be so rewarding :)?

Other than dealing with irrate people and seeing the abuseWhat are the downsides to being an A.C.O (Animal Control Officer)? I think it would be so rewarding :)?
Most people who get into dog careers because they love the dogs, find that ... dog careers are often a lot more about the people than the dogs. If you don't deal well with all kinds of people, you'll find that career to be VERY frustrating. Because you see, as an ACO, you cannot always tell people what you think of them and what they're doing to their animals, even if you really, really want to.What are the downsides to being an A.C.O (Animal Control Officer)?

You will have to see horrible things. People abusing animals, animals who are just too wild to be allowed to survive, orders to destroy perfectly happy animals.





There was a question on this forum about what a man can do to his neighbor after his cat was stuck in his neighbor's bear trap. It was a suburban neighborhood.





Seriously, you will deal with horrors. More over, you will be unable to help ever one of the poor creatures. Some animals are just on this side of being illegally abused, but still badly treated. You will wish you were allowed to shoot the owners, but you can't even cuss them out and keep your job.
Downside would be seeing dogs in horrifying conditions and knowing you can't save them all!
