The Michoacán State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) executed a rescue order for a donkey that was allegedly a victim of violence and neglect. The intervention took place in the municipality of Hidalgo, where the animal was being kept in conditions that violated its physical well-being, due to the actions of its owner.
This operation is part of the state’s strategy to combat animal abuse and protect sentient beings in the region. The rescue was made possible through a coordinated effort between specialized FGE personnel and representatives of the civil organizations Seres Libres A.C. and Fundación Toby.
Both organizations actively participated in the logistics, initial assessment, and safeguarding of the animal, ensuring that the process was carried out according to animal welfare standards. The authorities’ mobilization stemmed from a series of citizen reports alerting them to the precarious situation in which the animal was living.
How did the rescue operation unfold in the municipality of Hidalgo?
Following these complaints, the corresponding investigations were initiated to document evidence of neglect. Once the risky conditions were confirmed, legal action was taken to ensure the donkey’s immediate protection. After being deployed to the site, the animal was secured by state authorities.
According to protocol, the donkey was immediately transferred to a suitable facility so that veterinarians could begin a thorough medical evaluation. The primary objective of this transfer is for the animal to receive the necessary treatment for its physical and emotional recovery, remaining under official custody while the legal aspects of the case are determined.
These actions align with the directives issued by the State Attorney General, Carlos Torres Piña, who has instructed authorities to strengthen their response to citizen complaints related to wildlife. This institutional stance aims to send a firm message against any conduct that threatens the lives of animals, prioritizing collaboration with civil society to eradicate violence against working or domestic animals.
