Animal cruelty legal cases in Coahuila

Overview

Legal proceedings regarding animal cruelty cases in Coahuila, Mexico, have led to the preventive detention of several individuals.

In Castaños, Lizbeth “N”, director of the Frichem Foundation, is seeking to challenge her detention following an August raid where authorities seized 63 dogs. The charges involve 53 animals found with severe malnutrition, dehydration, and parasite infestations; two animals died during the operation. A judge has granted a two-month period for complementary investigations.

In Saltillo, the judiciary confirmed that Liliana “N” remains in detention following the death of a 14-year-old Great Pyrenees named Rocky. The dog died in July after being tied to a vehicle and dragged through the streets. Animal rights collectives, such as Dignidad Animal, have organized protests demanding transparency and legal custody of the dog’s remains, which are currently held at the Forensic Medical Service.
