On this episode of the Pawareness Podcast, we welcome Animal Protection Officer, Daniel Ettinger, to talk about this very important profession and what it’s really like to be an Animal Protection Officer. He shares what his duties are, how you can get trained and educated to be an Animal Protection Officer, and what he loves most about his career. Daniel also gives wise advice to people who are interested in becoming an Animal Protection Officer, along with resources you can use to educate yourself and spread awareness about animal cruelty.
“I also love the engagement of the community. This is a small, kind of niche community where we share things a lot with each other and there’s not many like us, so we all bond and that’s a nice perk of the job.” - Daniel Ettinger
