Attorneys representing anonymous animal rights activists on Wednesday released edited video footage filmed by their clients that they allege shows criminal mistreatment of lambs inside Denver’s only existing slaughterhouse.

Justin Strnad hadn’t looked at his phone after practice Wednesday, but there’s not much he can do anyway besides hope for the best. The Broncos inside linebacker is a Tampa-area native and is keeping as close an eye as he can on his hometown, his family and friends and his own properties as Hurricane Milton barrels toward the Florida Gulf Coast. “One of our nutritionists was saying it was moving a little bit South,” Strnad told The Post.

Once again the Avalanche is entering a new hockey season as one of the favorites to win the Stanley Cup. But oddsmakers aren’t as enthusiastic about the team’s chances as in years past.
