animal control officer
Wildlife enforcement agent
An animal control officer is a government employee who enforces laws related to animals—capturing strays, responding to reports of dangerous or nuisance animals, investigating animal cruelty, and ensuring compliance with licensing and vaccination requirements.
The role combines law enforcement with animal welfare: Animal control officers removed three dozen cats from the property.
