In the wake of the floods, we have scams abound, so please make sure you keep yourself vigilant. Mail-in voting is being attacked by the GOP, again...this after a 2024 full of support and tangible results.

Next. critics of Gov. Gavin Newsom's social media presence don't really understand the definition of satire...or irony. If that wasn't enough, our museums are a bummer, because of all that "history".

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Keep it Humane: The Podcast, hosts Daniel Ettinger and Ashley Bishop sit down with their very own co-host, Ashlee Bishop, to discuss the unexpected and challenging turn in her career as an animal control officer.Ashlee opens up about losing her position as Wausau's full-time humane officer following a controversial city council decision. The move, pushed forward by the police department to restructure animal control services, replaced Ashlee's full-time role with three part-time positions — a shift that city leaders claim will expand services without increasing costs.We delve into the emotional and professional impact this decision has had on Ashlee, as well as the community's strong reaction. Former council member Tom Kilian voiced concerns over the council's failure to implement the original plan, which would have included Ashlee and two part-time animal control officers. Instead, the city opted for a broader approach, assigning community service and code enforcement officers to handle animal-related calls alongside other duties.Ashlee shares her firsthand experience of what it means to be a humane officer, the importance of dedicated animal control professionals, and the real-life consequences of blending animal welfare with unrelated code enforcement responsibilities.This episode sheds light not only on Ashlee's personal journey but also on the larger issue of how cities balance budgets, public safety, and animal welfare. It's a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of animal control and the vital role of compassionate, trained professionals in our communities.Tune in to hear Ashlee's story — raw, unfiltered, and eye-opening.
