California dog trainer charged with animal cruelty, evidence destruction in deaths of 11 dogs
- An Irvine animal trainer, Kwong Chun Sit, and his girlfriend, Tingfeng Liu, were charged on Monday with the deaths of 11 dogs in Irvine, California.
- The investigation began after a dog owner reported receiving a message that their dog died in its sleep and had been cremated, prompting police to open an inquiry.
- Authorities recovered nine dog carcasses and cremated remains of additional dogs from multiple crematoriums; autopsies determined that heat-related causes led to the deaths of two dogs, while another died due to blunt force injuries.
- Sit could be sentenced to as long as 13 years and one month in prison, while Liu may receive up to four years if found guilty; prosecutors have stated their intention to vigorously pursue the case.
- Sit and Liu are held on $550,000 bail, barred from animal contact, and scheduled for a pretrial hearing on July 1, while authorities seek additional information from the public.
