In Mexico, the manager of the zoo was accused of serving dwarf goats at a Christmas party

The former head of a zoo in Mexico is accused of ordering dwarf goats to be killed and cooked for a Christmas party. This was reported by The Guardian with reference to local authorities. “These four animals were slaughtered and cooked on the zoo grounds and were served as food at a year-end party,” said Fernando Ruiz Gutierrez, director of the state’s environmental protection department. Director Ruben Nava was fired as director of the local zoo in Chilpancingo on January 12, 2023, following the death of a deer.

The state Department of Environmental Protection says deer and cattle were also sold to private individuals without proper records. Nauvoo is also accused of allegedly trading the zebra for tools needed to fix things at the zoo, but an inspection found no such tools at the facility. It is not known if Navi has been formally charged in the case or if he has a lawyer. Mexico has long had a problem with the illegal acquisition of exotic animals by private individuals. For years, drug traffickers in Mexico have been known to build private menageries of lions, tigers and other wild animals. Predators sometimes run away, causing panic among the population.
