"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat
Since the end of September, at least 50 dogs have been poisoned in Michoacán; activists denounce impunity and demand immediate action.
From late September until October 9, the tranquility of several municipalities in Michoacán was disrupted by a cruel act: at least 50 dogs were killed by poisoning. The most affected municipalities are Paracho and Tarímbaro, with 20 cases reported in each, while Los Reyes and Puruándiro recorded other incidents.
Luisa Quijano Ravell, a member of Rescatistas Independientes (Independent Rescuers), reported that these acts have become frequent, especially in Paracho, under the current municipal administration. The organization has filed complaints with the State Attorney General's Office (FGE), but faces the constant threat of retaliation, which discourages some citizens from pursuing the legal process.
Urgent Call to Authorities
Activists are not only demanding justice, but also concrete actions to protect animals. Quijano emphasizes that municipalities must train their staff, promote sterilization, support associations and rescuers, and promote adoption programs, following current legal regulations.
The state government was also urged to sanction non-compliant officials and coordinate with municipalities to ensure animal welfare. "It's not about sacrificing, it's not about euthanizing; we need a work plan that respects the lives of animals," the rescuer stated.
Impunity fuels cruelty
One of the central problems is the lack of severe penalties. In the few cases where an aggressor was prosecuted, the current law allows them to post bail or perform community service, leaving open the possibility of reoffending.
With the arrival of prosecutor Carlos Torres Piña, the FGE increased the number of public prosecutors in charge of animal abuse to two, but Quijano maintains that it is still insufficient to handle all cases.
Stories Behind the Numbers
Each number represents an innocent animal that suffered a tragic end. Independent rescuers work daily: rescuing dogs in danger, finding them homes, and, above all, raising awareness about humans' responsibility toward animals. Activists insist that animal protection is not optional and demand real changes in public policies to prevent future tragedies.

Even dogs are joining the cartels! Dam
ReplyDeleteYour comment is of bad taste ! My take on the incident is that humanity is the scum of the planet ! Everything humans touch turn to shit! Poor animals ! Whatever human that touches an animal deserves eye for an eye treatme t! Death!
Deleteyeah, this is sad not something to be proud for sure. I see sometimes in Mexico and the USA people act cruelty to animals. Also, if a stray dog or a pet comes into another person's yard they may poison the dog or shoot it.
ReplyDeleteEven Kristi Noem did this shit. Disturbed people.
DeleteSounds to me like the poison is placed on orders of the alcade.
ReplyDeleteFucking faggots from michoacan
ReplyDelete"but faces the constant threat of retaliation"
ReplyDeleteThose fuckers kill the dogs and menace to kill you if you denounce it. But yes, if you kill a puppy with cold blood you can harm any living being.
You put photos of cute fluffy puppies to represent the dogs that attack groups of children going to school? You did this before Sol, to represent the evil that lurks in Mexico, but you didn't follow up with the very real situation then, so I'd be amazed if you did this time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a joke. I have nothing against dogs, but it's Michoacan.
ReplyDeleteMexico cares little for dogs, you can see them roving all over the place. They're a bunch of damn savages down there.
ReplyDeleteAsí de puercos los de Michigan.
