Mike, Miro: can we please have an Animal Protection Officer? Stats say 70% of Burlington residents have dogs. Couldn't we get serious about dog licenses, and have a full time animal protection officer?  LeaDogwork.com

I know this is a dog list, but I would add that an animal protection officer is also crucial in light of the fact that:
Burlington intends to enact regulations related to backyard farmed animals, and also backyard slaughter.
As far as I know, BPD has nobody on staff who has expertise in the assessment of wildlife/human conflicts and humane solutions.
