Overview
- A judge from the 60th Civil Court, Ana Miriam Yépez Arreola, set 12:00 on January 30 to restore possession of the Cuajimalpa parcel to Refugio Franciscano under a suspension granted in federal court.
- Investigators reported recovering about 50 bone remains that could correspond to roughly 100 dogs, with analyses ongoing under the City Prosecutor’s Office.
- Authorities say 858 animals were secured on January 7 and are under veterinary care across three facilities, with 304 in the Ajusco shelter, 183 at Utopía Gustavo A. Madero and 371 at the Animal Surveillance Brigade.
- The city began relocating the 183 dogs from Utopía Gustavo A. Madero to the Animal Surveillance Brigade after conditioning capacity there for up to 900 dogs from the case.
- Around a thousand people marched in Mexico City calling for the animals’ return and transparency, as Fundación Haghenbeck condemned the restitution as a “chicanada legal” and vowed legal challenges while the city pledged to respect court rulings and block any development on the site.
