Target: Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Prime Minister of Mexico
Goal: Punish individuals allegedly responsible for gruesome animal abuse in Progreso, ensuring justice for the voiceless victims.
The town of Progreso has seemingly been plunged into a nightmare of animal cruelty, as exposed through social media. Dogs and cats reportedly face appalling conditions, from being impaled to suffering under the harsh sun, all devoid of necessary care. Despite community outcry, these sadistic acts apparently continue unabated, with local authorities like the Municipal Police and the Directorate of the Ecological Police lacking punitive power. This leaves the animals and their advocates with little recourse.
In one egregious instance, men seemingly barbarically impaled a dog, resulting in euthanasia due to extensive internal damage. Such heinous acts go beyond physical harm, encompassing neglect in harsh weather conditions and a lack of medical attention. The State Prosecutor’s Office’s indifference, citing busyness, exacerbates this crisis, leading to an environment where such atrocities persist without retribution. This lack of action emboldens abusers, increasing the risk of such behavior escalating to harm against humans, particularly the vulnerable.
The demand is clear: the intervention of the prime minister to ensure these abusers face the full extent of legal repercussions. This petition is not merely about punishment; it’s about safeguarding our moral fabric and ensuring that the rights of all living beings, especially those who cannot speak for themselves, are upheld. Stand for a society where compassion and justice prevail, not cruelty and neglect.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear PM Andrés Manuel López Obrador,
Our community in Progreso is witnessing a horrifying escalation in animal abuse. Accounts of animals tortured, mutilated, and neglected have surfaced, painting a grim picture of the plight of our voiceless companions. Despite repeated appeals to local authorities, these reported acts of barbarism continue with little to no legal consequences for the perpetrators. This not only reflects a failure in our justice system but also undermines our societal values.
The harrowing incident where a dog was reportedly impaled, leading to its euthanasia, is a stark reminder of the cruelty we are combating. Such acts of violence against animals are not isolated events but part of a larger, more disturbing trend of neglect and abuse. This situation is exacerbated by the inaction of the State Prosecutor’s Office, which has repeatedly dismissed these cases due to other priorities. This indifference sends a dangerous message: that the lives and well-being of these animals are inconsequential.
We implore you to take immediate and decisive action. The perpetrators of these vile acts must be held accountable, and strict legal measures must be implemented to prevent future instances of abuse. This is not just a matter of animal welfare; it’s about the kind of community we aspire to be. One that values life, nurtures compassion, and upholds justice for all its members, human and non-human alike. Your intervention is critical in turning the tide against this wave of cruelty and in restoring faith in our legal system.
Sincerely,
Your Name Here

I will never visit Mexico until there is a public movement for the deescalation of male violence. I have two friends from Mexico City. They were both in a film study program here in the states with me. She had friends who had been in a fatal car accident, with one of the women dying on the side of the road. The other woman who had also been seriously injured had to crawl on top of her dying friend in order to prevent her from being raped while she died. Why are men like this all over the world? Are you all at a loss as to how to treat others? Hint: stop being violent shits. Try being kind and insisting other men do the same.
