WE NEED STRICTER ACCOUNTABILITY FOR PET SERVICE PROVIDERS The distressing discovery of 29 deceased pets abandoned in sacks in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, is a blatant violation of environmental and sanitation laws. Worse, grieving pet owners paid for a decent final farewell for their beloved companion animals, only for them to be dumped like garbage on a roadside. This is a clear case of fraud and those responsible for such an offense must be held accountable. I urge the LGUs across the country and agencies concerned, such as the Bureau of Animal Industry, to inspect and audit all operating pet service providers, including crematoriums, to ensure that such businesses are licensed, environmentally compliant, and held to clear standards of integrity so no family is ever subjected to this cruelty. Bilang isa ring pet parent, nakakalungkot at nakakabahala na marinig ang ganitong pagtrato sa mga alaga nating tinuring nang miyembro ng pamilya.
