<p>In this gripping episode of Keep it Humane: The Podcast, we recount a disturbing case that unfolded on January 27, 2022, when a concerned citizen called Denver Animal Protection to report the sounds of a dog being beaten inside an apartment at 5190 Broadway Street.</p><p>Officer Daniel Ettinger responded to the call and was met with silence, resistance, and ultimately a scene that revealed shocking conditions. Inside the apartment, four dogs were found confined to a small closet covered in urine and feces, with no access to water and visible signs of injury and neglect. One dog had fresh wounds, and three were underweight and crammed into a wire crate without a bottom tray, lying in their own waste.</p><p>This episode takes you through the officer’s experience as he obtained a warrant, entered the residence, and discovered the heartbreaking living conditions. We discuss the process of identifying the individuals involved, the legal actions taken, and the steps that led to the dogs’ impoundment and potential new path to recovery.</p><p>We highlight not only the resilience of the animals but the importance of vigilance from the community and swift action from animal control professionals. It’s a powerful reminder of why our work matters and how we can be a voice for the voiceless.</p>
