No contest plea in deaths of dogs, one of which was found in freezer

August 22, 2008 | 11:32 am

The Associated Press reports:

A Los Angeles pharmacist has pleaded no contest to killing his two dogs and putting one of them in the freezer.

Keith Chung made his plea Thursday to felony animal cruelty and faces up to two years in prison. He was arrested last year in the beating deaths of his two Schnauzers.

His lawyer says the 41-year-old will undergo a 90-day examination at a state corrections facility and return to court Dec. 18 for sentencing.

Police say they found one of Chung's Schnauzers in his freezer when they responded to a report of a dog barking as if in distress.

Chung's attorney says the other dog was not dead when officers found it in Chung's condo, but was euthanized several hours later.

This dog killer is rife with irreverence for life.
