BAYAMON, Puerto Rico — A judge Wednesday ordered the owner of an animal-control company and two of his employees to stand trial on animal-cruelty charges in the October massacre of about 80 seized pets that were hurled off a bridge.

Superior Court Judge Nelson Canabal ruled there was sufficient evidence for Julio Diaz, owner of Animal Control Solutions, and the two employees to stand trial.

The killings of pets seized from housing projects brought revulsion around the world and triggered calls for tourist boycotts of this U.S. Caribbean territory.
