78. A Bum Rap: Changing Perceptions about Animal Control

Everyone knows the stereotype: "Dogcatchers" are portrayed in movies as evil villains that snatch up lost animals, drag them to the pound, and lock them away in a cold cage, never to be seen again. Sound familiar? Though not used as much nowadays, the old-fashioned term has had a lasting negative impact on the animal control profession and the public's perception of it.

In this episode, we are joined again by Daniel Ettinger, the animal control supervisor for the Summit County Colorado Sheriff’s Office and host of the Animal Control Report podcast. He’s on a mission to change public perception about the notoriously misunderstood field of animal control. Listen in as Daniel gives us a sneak peek into the life of an animal control officer, dispels some of the harmful myths, and explains the realities of the job, both good and bad.
