Overview

  • SEGAT confirmed that 21 rabbits and one cat were found dead inside Trujillo’s botanical garden after a presumed attack by dogs that breached the fence.
  • Inspectors reported bite marks on several bodies, which supports the account of a dog pack entering the grounds.
  • The agency said about 15 rabbits suffocated in tunnels as they hid, and it noted the cat had existing health problems.
  • SEGAT opened an investigation with the NGO Laurito Saving Lives and is collecting statements from security staff to check for protocol failures.
  • The official 22-animal toll replaced higher early claims and prompted calls to strengthen fencing and patrols at a garden that draws about 3,000 visitors a month.
