These animals were severely malnourished and kept in overcrowded conditions, with insufficient access to food and water, according to an official report. The property was subsequently suspended, and administrative proceedings have begun to determine responsibility and impose sanctions.

The Tlaxcala State Prosecutor's Office announced that a criminal complaint will be filed with the State Prosecutor's Office to conduct further investigations and determine legal accountability for the mistreatment.
