The Animal Control Report pt. 2

The Animal Control Report is a podcast hosted by humane officers to educate and share stories and cases that showcase the role of the animal control officer as well as other individuals involved in animal welfare.

In Part 2, Dan Ettinger joins us to share his experiences as a humane officer in Colorado as well as an educator, and his efforts to help grow the profession and get away from being thought of as simply the "dog catcher".

We also talk about how to deal with compassion fatigue and thoughts on behavioral euthanasia.
