Black, elephants between “NARCO animals”, which are circus animals that run away

A box of veterinarians was climbed on the huge metal boxes on Tuesday morning, loaded one by one on a fleet of semi -projects. Among the goods: tigers, monkeys, jaguars, elephants and black – all run away from the latest wave Cartel’s violence The eclipse in the north of Colakan.

For years, Strange pets from the cartel members Circus animals lived in a small animal shelter on the outskirts of the capital of Sinwa. However, a struggle for blood force erupted last year between the opponent Sino Cartel The factions, the area drowns in unprecedented violence, leave the leaders of the Ostok Reserve, reeling from armed attacks, constant death threats and cutting of the basic supplies needed to keep 700 animals alive.

The Relief Organization is now leaving the collacks and moving animal hours across the state in the hope that they will escape the weight of violence. But the fighting has grown widely in the area to the extent that a lot of fear will definitely ride it.

“We have never seen the violence so far,” said Ernesto Zazueta, the head of the Osteuk Reserve. “We are concerned about the animals that come here for a better future.”

Violence exploded in the city eight months ago when the Sinwa Cartel factions began with two competitors The dramatic kidnapping of Ismail “May” ZambadaThe leader of a group, by Ibn Kabo Jawakin, “El Chapo”, Joseman, who handed him over to the US authorities via a private plane.

Zambada And “El Chapo” are they Joaquin Guzmán López They were arrested when they landed in Texas.

Since then, the intense fighting between the armed factions with the new natural weapon of civilians in Kolakan, a city that has been avoided for years, has become the worst violence of Mexico in a large part of it because Sinwa Cartel has maintained such full control.

“With the escalating war between the two factions in Senalo Cartel, they started blackmailing, kidnapping cars and stealing cars because they need funds to finance their war,” said David Sosoto, security analyst. “The civilians in Kolakan are the ones who suffer.”

Animals are afraid of fighting Cartel

Zazouita, director of the sanctuary, said that their journey from the city is another sign of the start of the war in daily life.

This week, refugee employees loaded the huge animals on a convoy as some coaches tried to calm animals. One with a smooth voice is a louder with a bag of carrots into an elephant in a shipping container, “I will be here, no one will do for you.”

Veterinary doctors and animals, accompanied by the Mexican National Guard, began traveling along the highway to Mazmanan on the beach, where they planned to release animals in another wildlife reserve.

The transition came after months of planning and animal training, a move by the organization in a state of despair. They said that the campus was arrested in exchanging wars because of his proximity to the town of Jesus Maria, the stronghold of Los Shapetus, one of the warring factions.

During extensive violence, employees on the campus can hear gunshots that are frequented nearly, and the steering of cars and helicopters in the sky of the area, which they say the animals frighten. The cartel regularly prevents employees from reaching the sanctuary, and some animals have gone through days without eating. Zazuita said that many of them started losing fur and died at least two animals because of the situation.

The complexity of matters is the fact that an increasing number of animals that they save are preceding pets from NARCO left deserted in the countryside areas in the country. In one case, a Bengal tiger was discovered with chains in a square, which occurred in the midst of fire. Urban legends revolve in Senoa that a nightmare nourishes its enemies for black pets. The US Department of Justice claimed in an indictment in 2023 that the sons of “El Chapo” and their Cartel partners Some of their victims feed “dead or alive to tigers.”

Diego Garcia, a refuge employee, among those who travel to save those animals. He said that he is regularly receiving unknown threats, as the callers claim that they know its title and how to find it. It worries that it will aim to withdraw the previous pets from a nightmare. Zazueta said that asylum is also receiving calls threatening to burn the campus on the ground and kill animals if it is not paid.

“There is no safe place in this city these days,” said Garcia.

This is the feeling of many in a million city. When the sun rises, parents are verifying the news of the shooting as if it were the weather, to determine whether it is safe to send their children to school. The burning homes are sitting full of bullets and sometimes the bodies appear hanging from bridges outside the city. At night, Kolakan turns into ghost city, leaving bars and clubs closed and many work.

“My son, my son, I am here. I will not leave you alone,” “Why do the police do nothing?” I shouted.

“What do we do here?”

In February, while driving an animal transport vehicle, Garcia said he was forced into the car by a convincing armed man in the SUV. When threatening the weapon, they stole the truck, animal medicines and tools that the group uses to rescue and let it tremble on the side of the road.

The collapse of the Ostok Reserve came in March, when one of the two villas was sponsored by Berki, on her foot. Veterinary doctors scrambled to find a specialist in Mexico and the United States and beyond. No one is the brave of the journey to Kolakan.

“We asked ourselves,” What do we do here? “We cannot risk happening again. If we don’t leave, who will treat them? “

Sosoto, a security analyst, said that the anxiety that many raise is that the Mexico campaign against the carts will meet more violent power movements by criminal organizations, as happened in the past.

Zazouita blames the local government and security forces for not doing more, and said that their appeals to help in the past eight months have not been answered.

The office of the Governor of Sinwa did not immediately respond to the request.

This campus has taken this step without any public declaration, worried that they may face repercussions from local officials or the same cartridges that force them to flee, but they hope that animals will find some relief in Mazmanan after years of conflict.

Garcia, the sanctuary employee, is not sure. While he was hoping for the best, he said he also saw a Cartel violence spreading like cancer throughout the Latin American country. Mozanman, also, also faces bursts of violence, although there is nothing compared to the capital of Cenalwan.

“It is at least more stable,” he said. “Because here, today, it is just a stifling.”

Cartel’s violence is also frequent in the central state of Guangeato, the deadliest country in Mexico. Police said gunmen opened fire this week and killed seven people, including some minors, in a square in San Felipe. Violent crime is believed to be linked to the conflict between the Santa Rosa de Lima gang and Gilgsco new generation CartelOne of the strongest in Mexico.
