True or False: A catchpole should be used to lift an animal into the truck to avoid being bitten.

Using a catchpole, which is a specialized tool designed for safely handling animals, is primarily intended for capturing and restraining animals rather than lifting them into a vehicle. The catchpole provides the handler with a means to control and stabilize the animal, reducing the risk of bites and injuries during the capture process. However, it is not the appropriate tool for physically lifting the animal into a truck.

When transporting animals, proper techniques and tools should focus on minimizing stress and injury to both the animal and the handler. Other equipment, such as stretchers or animal carriers, are more suitable for safely lifting and transporting the animal once it is captured. This choice emphasizes the importance of understanding how to use specific equipment for different situations, ensuring the safety of both the animal and the officer involved.
