The D.A.’s Office alleges that Chun Sit and Liu pretended to be the dog owners, and traveled to several crematories throughout the region in an effort to conceal how many animals had actually died while in their care. The real owners were informed via text that their dogs died in their sleep and were being cremated, officials said.

Eleven dogs died while in the care of a California dog trainer and prosecutors say he and his girlfriend tried to destroy the evidence by dropping off the dogs' bodies at different crematoriums.

Kwong (Tony) Chun Sit, of Irvine, pleaded not guilty Monday in Orange County Superior Court to 11 counts of animal cruelty, 11 counts of animal abuse by a caretaker, seven counts of attempting to destroy evidence and one count of destruction of evidence, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.

Tingfeng Liu, of Vista, who is dating Sit, pleaded not guilty Monday to accessory to a felony and destruction of evidence, police said.

Sit, 53, and Liu, 23, are both are in custody on $550,000 bail each. Prosecutors said the couple was packed and ready to flee when they were arrested on Thursday. Each has been assigned a public defender, prosecutors said.

A pet owner contacted police last week saying their dog trainer told them their dog had died and had been cremated, police spokesperson Kyle Oldoerp said.

And how these companies proceeded without owner authorization. How was death from blunt force trauma and heat stroke determined?
(on edit, it looks like police grabbed some of the bodies before cremation.)

I feel no mercy for people who abuse animals, especially ones that have been left in their care. I'd also be very interested to see any of their, "successfully," trained dogs.
