Shocking video shows police officers in Mexico deliberately run over and kill a dog in Mexico.
Translated from Spanish via Google Translate:
“Oaxaca – In a video, it is seen that elements of the Ocotlán de Morelos Police run over a dog, which unleashed strong criticism for the animal cruelty exercised against sentient beings.
The death of the animal occurred yesterday Tuesday morning, where the official unit with number A-0018 runs over the dog and does not die, however, in the video you can see how the driver reverses to “finish off” the colored dog that was already dying.
In this regard, the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Oaxaca initiated investigation against municipal police officers for animal abuse and cruelty.
The state agency reported that the Directorate of Preliminary Investigations became aware of the case, so elements of the State Investigation Agency (AEI) carried out the removal of the corpse and transferred it to the Institute of Expert Services so that the veterinary expert could carry out scientific tests. .
In Oaxaca, article 420 of the Penal Code of the State of Oaxaca establishes penalties of six months to four years in prison and a fine of 500 to 1,500 days’ salary for anyone who “intentionally deprives the life of a vertebrate animal.”
The Oaxaca Prosecutor’s Office indicated that it will seek the immediate prosecution of this file, as it said, acts that violate the law will not be tolerated, especially by public servants in charge of enforcing it.
So far, neither the authorities of Ocotlán de Morelos nor the uniformed officers have commented on this murder.”
