Can Allen Animal Services trap, move or kill the wildlife roaming my neighborhood?

Allen Animal Services does not intervene when these animals are roaming their natural habitat, which includes urban environments. However, animal control officers will respond to reports of sick, injured or unusually aggressive wildlife. Officers will also help move urban wildlife confined in a trap or structure. However, removal and relocation does not reduce the population.
