The Congress of Puebla held a session focused on the legal framework and investigation of crimes against animals within the state. During the presentation, Deputy Beatriz Manrique Guevara reviewed progress in sanctioning animal crimes and strengthening legal protections, noting that prioritizing animal welfare is an effort to move away from “normalizing violence in society.”

The session involved the Congressional Volunteer group, civil society organizations, and the head of the Specialized Unit for the Investigation of Crimes Against Animals of the State Attorney General's Office of Puebla. It highlighted ongoing protection actions implemented since the establishment of the Animal Welfare Institute in 2018.
