Livestock producers in Bovril, Entre Ríos, reported a significant increase in cattle theft and clandestine slaughtering. Producers described the region as a “liberated zone” for criminals, noting a specific modus operandi where thieves extract viscera, heads, and limbs. Local farmers expressed frustration with judicial delays and claimed that law enforcement often only arrests minor intermediaries rather than the primary perpetrators.

In response to reports of illegal hunting and the presence of armed individuals, police conducted raids in the area. These operations resulted in the seizure of rifles, including one with a thermal scope, as well as ammunition and reloading equipment. Authorities also recovered and destroyed axis deer meat found in a butcher shop that failed to meet legal or sanitary standards, citing violations of provincial hunting laws.
