Dog catchers have to agree with the current thing now?

Women’s health and bodily autonomy aren’t “the current thing”. Stop trying to trivialize foundational freedoms by painting them as a trend, you disingenuous turd.

Foundational freedoms? I don't see them in the bill of rights or the Magna Carta.

Wow those things written by white men didn’t protect the rights of women so I guess they shouldn’t have rights then. Fuck outta here.

It's really telling that you think people's right to healthcare and bodily autonomy is "the current thing." And it's unfortunate that it's not even true.

Thanks for the hypocritical (I'm really shocked, I promise) advice, oh wise one! I'll do my best! :)

Are there even still elected dog catchers? I think most places just sub out animal control.

There are trivial offices people might compare to “dogcatcher.”

Township Auditors and Tax Collectors often have the duty of simply signing a piece of paper, so that a professional firm may do the auditing or tax collecting.

The OP is correct that it is worthwhile to oppose folks running for those offices (the first job is to recruit a better candidate, or to step forward yourself). These offices can be stepping stones to “policy offices.”

Also consider school board races. Alice or Bob might be active in the PTA, but if they're going to ban books about reproductive health…

No. Animal control is usually under professional services. The borough appoints someone to handle that. In the smaller towns there’s usually one person or company that covers a large area.

OP just posted the exact same post in every state subreddit. I've never seen a race for dog catcher in PA.
