The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) has called for legal action against a pet crematorium after 29 animal remains, including 26 dogs and 3 cats, were discovered dumped in plastic bags in a vacant lot in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. The remains reportedly included names and weights, leading to allegations of Estafa by means of deceit, as pet owners allegedly paid for cremation services under the false impression that their pets were being properly processed.

Following the discovery, House Senior Deputy Minority Leader Leila de Lima described the incident as a “despicable and inhumane act.” She has urged Congress to prioritize the passage of the Animal Welfare Enforcement Act and the Revised Animal Welfare Act to ensure accountability and prevent future occurrences.
