Puerto Rico Pet Killings Go to Trial

A judge in Puerto Rico has ruled that the owner of an animal control company and two of his employees must all stand trial for animal cruelty charges relating to the deaths of around 80 pets last year.

Local officials had hired Animal Control Solutions to remove cats and dogs from housing projects and have claimed that they thought the animals would be taken to shelters.

"I will no longer do any animal-related business in Puerto Rico," the owner of the company, Julio Diaz told the Associated Press. "We are the only ones who have been blamed. We are innocent."

Good! You shouldn't do business ANYWHERE, idiot.
