Two men arrested for allegedly raising dogs to sell their meat in tacos in Mexico

This discovery was derived from a complaint made by the residents of the Mariano Escobedo neighborhood, in the municipality of Tultitlán, Mexico stateafter the heat of the last few days caused a fetid smell that was becoming more and more unbearable and that emanated from a home on Sostenes Rocha street.

According to locals, 10 years ago they began to see two men, with boots and a butcher’s apron who entered and left that place, which also served as a farm, and who claimed to dedicate themselves to the sale of tacos in CDMX.

Residents began to suspect that place when they realized the number of dogs that were there and those that were reported missing in the area. But getting the authorities to that location didn’t happen overnight. First, the neighbors went to the Prosecutor’s Office.

“They ignored us, they sent us to the Tlalnepantla Prosecutor’s OfficeThey told us no, that it’s federal, that nothing can be done, that we go to Civil Protection, Civil Protection came and didn’t say anything,” said Fernanda, a local resident.

It was until some neighbors got together and decided to block the road Lopez Portilloon April 19, to attract attention.

With that, the Regional Prosecutor’s Office finally went to number 3 Sostenes Rocha Street. The home, divided into two courtyards with three rooms each, it was full of garbage, scattered clothes, furniture, sacks, drums and sheets of asbestos.

After realizing the unsanitary conditions in which the dogs were kept and the findings they made, such as finding bones of those animals or canisters of muriatic acid, the agents arrested the two men, identified as Julio César “N” and Jorge “N”.

Almost 40 dogs were on the property; five were rescued by the Mundo Patitas foundation, which supported the inhabitants in giving them custody of the rest of the dogs. The detainees were transferred to the Cuautitlán Izcalli Prosecutor’s Office, where they face the crimes of trespassing, animal abuse and health.
