Animal cruelty and safety incidents in Colombia

Overview

Reports of animal-related incidents and cruelty have emerged across several regions in Colombia.

In Bucaramanga, a confrontation involving pit bulls resulted in a man being bitten and a woman falling while attempting to intervene. Simultaneously, in Neiva, police began investigating footage of alleged animal mistreatment in the La Arboleda neighborhood.

By mid-September, investigations expanded to other departments. In Antioquia, the Governor’s Office offered a reward of up to 50 million pesos for information regarding a suspect accused of attacking a dog named ‘Negra’ with a machete in Remedios. In Nariño, the National Police arrested a woman in Córdoba after discovering a severely malnourished and abandoned dog.

In Manizales, the Secretariat of the Environment has resumed weekly pet adoption jornadas in the El Cable sector.
