From the Summer 2023 issue of the Gill Newsletter:
WANTED: Town Animal Inspector
There is an opening in Gill for an Animal Inspector. Candidates should be reasonably experienced in the care and handling of domestic livestock animals, be generally experienced in their husbandry, and be knowledgeable in the handling and care of other domestic animals such as dogs and cats. Knowledge and experience with common “urban wildlife” such as raccoons, skunks and bats that expose domestic animals and come under the jurisdiction of the MA Division of Fisheries and Wildlife will prove beneficial in the collection of specimens for submission to the State Rabies Laboratory.
There are no scholastic, professional (ie: veterinarians) or farm experience requirements for the position of Animal Inspector. A generalized knowledge of domestic animals will prove very useful. The primary duty of the Animal Inspector has recently become rabies control in the domestic animal population. Town Animal Inspectors are also responsible for barn inspections.
