A 28-year-old man has been charged in the alleged killing of puppies in Burnaby last month.
On May 24, Burnaby RCMP got a report from a person claiming they had bought a Pomeranian puppy from a man who was now killing other puppies, according to police.
The investigation led to the arrest of a 28-year-old man in the Brentwood area that same night.
Pouya Sadri, of no fixed address, has now been charged with one count of killing an animal.
He was released on May 25 on several conditions, including an order not to “own, have contact with, have the custody or control of or reside in the same premises of an animal or bird.”
His next appearance in Vancouver provincial court is scheduled for June 30.
The maximum penalty for killing an animal without lawful excuse is a $10,000 fine, two years in jail or both.
