MANILA — The Philippine National Police has urged pet owners to file formal charges against a pet crematorium in Cavite following the discovery of 29 dead dogs and cats dumped in a vacant lot in Bulacan.
The deceased animals were reportedly surrendered to Ahjay Paws Aftercare Pet Crematorium in Bacoor City for cremation services, according to police. However, instead of being properly cremated, the remains were found abandoned, raising serious concerns about potential fraud and animal abuse.
Police have called on pet owners who may have used the crematorium's services to come forward and file complaints. Authorities are investigating whether the business defrauded customers by accepting payment for cremation services without properly disposing of the animals.
The incident has prompted renewed scrutiny of pet care service providers in the region. Pet owners are being advised to verify the legitimacy and credentials of crematorium facilities before entrusting their deceased companions to them.
The case underscores the need for stricter regulation and oversight of pet aftercare services to prevent similar incidents and protect grieving pet owners from exploitation.
