We have public officials, why?

....Today I found out just houw useless they are. While I was out today, I could smell the familiar smell of decay. It's not uncommon for birds or squirrels or small animals become road kill. But, what I did see, broke my heart. I saw a cat. A black cat. Lying on the grass, less than a foot from the road. Baking in the sun. When I got home... I told George. And, we tried to report it. County animal control were closed. So, we called the non-emerengcy number, and they said they couldn't do anything because it was not physically in the road they could do nothing. They would do nothing. So.... we collected the poor animal and buried it, ourselves. I would not have been able to watch Mother Nature do its thing. And, the sad thing, it was physically in the road yesterday. Another neighbor reported it.... and it was only moved into the grass from the looks of it. Why do we elect people, if they don't give a damn about our concerns? Why is it so easy to say, 'no' we're not going to do anything? But, had that been a human police would be all over it like flies. If the local vultures got a hold of it, and they caused a reck, because birds around here aren't afraid of people, cars or anything. The day before my cat, Chinnia, crossed the rainbow bridge... I'd been out. I came across, what I later learned were vultures, picking at what I discovered the next day to be a bird. Those birds were all over the sidewalk, grass, and even in the road picking on it. If they had gotten ahold of this poor cat, which mind you wasn't small, it would have caused quite the risk. And, much like the train wreck in Ohio, let's burry our heads in the sand and pretend it didn't happen. When are leaders going to do the jobs we're paying them for? When are we going to have people who want to do their jobs and see the risks for what they are?
