A few weeks ago, a reporter here asked if I’d be interested in working on a story about Metro Animal Control here in Casper. He said they’d let me ride along with them as they caught dogs and cats, so I figured why not.

Cleaning the pens.

The animal pit. Yeah, where they put roadkill and the like.
