Animal welfare initiatives in Huixquilucan
Overview
The government of Huixquilucan has implemented several measures to address animal welfare and cruelty. In October 2026, the municipality established a specialized Police Attention Cell within the General Directorate of Public Security and Traffic. This unit was created to respond to reports of animal violence and to raise public awareness. Mayor Romina Contreras Carrasco noted that animal abuse is often linked to criminal behaviors in domestic and social environments.
By November 2026, the municipality received the 2026 ANAC “Francisco Villarreal Torres” award for the operation of the Huixquican Animal Care and Protection Center. Since its launch in 2023, the center has assisted over 5,000 dogs and facilitated more than 500 adoptions. The local government continues to manage animal overpopulation through sterilization programs and adoption drives led by the General Directorate of Agricultural and Forestry Development.
