“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Videos show the men, apparently inside the municipal facilities, beating and torturing the canines
Firefighters from the Civil Protection of Monclova, Coahuila were denounced for rescuing stray dogs and later killing them.
César Flores Sosa, Morena’s candidate for congressman in that state, published the images in which the municipal officials can be seen mistreating the animals.
The videos show the men, apparently inside the municipal facilities, beating and torturing the dogs, even hitting them on the head with axes or pipes. They are then seen playing with the bodies.
In view of the diffusion of this situation, the mayor of Monclova, Mario Dávila Delgado, assured that the reported facts are not current, but occurred in another administration.
However, he announced that the case will be investigated and a complaint will be filed against those responsible. He specified that two of the firemen involved no longer work in the municipality, only one, who has already been suspended.
César Flores Sosa, a member of the Morenista party, also said that he had filed a criminal complaint against the firemen involved in the animal abuse.
The local press assured that the facts took place during the administration of Alfredo Paredes López, who is currently a candidate for local congressman for the “Va por México” alliance.
