Ecatepec Shuts Down Clandestine Veterinary Clinic After Court-Ordered Raid

Prosecutors opened an environmental-fauna crimes case after finding suitcases with apparent canine remains.

Overview

  • Authorities rescued 19 dogs and six cats from the property and transferred them to Ecatepec’s Animal Control and Welfare Center for care.
  • The FGJEM executed a March 14 search with municipal support and Navy perimeter security, then sealed the Calle Chichimeca premises in Ciudad Azteca.
  • Residents’ complaints at a March 13 Mesa de Paz triggered inspections after operators initially refused entry to municipal teams.
  • Inspectors observed accumulated feces, overcrowding, and signs of malnutrition, and officials said the clinic lacked permits despite advertising multiple pet services.
  • No arrests have been reported as animals undergo medical evaluation and prosecutors determine potential charges and future adoption eligibility.
