Police said the 31-year-old pet owner positively identified the remains of her dog in a vacant lot in Barangay De Ocampo on November 8.
According to a report, the fur parent paid P8,500 to Ahjay Paws Aftercare Pet Crematorium in Bacoor on June 13 to cremate her dog, which weighed nearly seven kilograms. Two days later, she received what was purported to be her pet’s ashes.
The same crematorium was embroiled in controversy over the alleged dumping of animal remains in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.
An animal advocate first discovered the remains while feeding stray animals in the area and posted videos on social media. The owner later recognized her dog based on its plastic wrapping, color, teeth formation and fur.
“Makita mo talaga na may panloloko na nangyayari,” said Trece Martires police chief Police Lt. Col. Bryan Merino.
(You can see there really was fraud.)
Meanwhile, Bacoor police said more than 300 pet owners have filed formal large-scale estafa complaints against the crematorium..
At least two dog carcasses were also discovered in the area, but no owners have come forward to claim them.
