Profepa and FGR rescue two Bengal tigers in Chihuahua

Two Bengal tigers were rescued in a joint operation in Chihuahua.

The Federal Attorney General’s Office for Environmental Protection (Profepa) and the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) carried out a search at a home in the municipality of Nonoava, Chihuahua. At the scene they secured two Bengal tigers – a male and a female – that were in apparent good physical condition. There were no arrests.

Operational in Nonoava

The operation arose from a request from the Federal Public Ministry for Profepa, headed by Mariana Boy Tamborrell, to participate in the search due to the suspicion that there were specimens of wildlife in the property. Upon arrival, the elements found the cats without identifying markings. They were secured and transferred to a wildlife management property in the same entity, which has infrastructure and technical personnel for their care.

The Bengal tiger is a species native to Asia, threatened by illegal hunting – for its skin, head, fangs, paws and claws – and by the destruction of its habitat. It is internationally protected and appears in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). It belongs to one of the six existing subspecies, which include the Sumatran, Amur, Indochinese, Chinese and Malayan tiger, with genetic variations such as white, gold and blue.

Profepa reported that it will continue to collaborate with the FGR in the investigation and will monitor the health status of the specimens.

The entry of foreign people by land was also detected, who allegedly collaborate in the training of members of criminal groups to install these devices. García Harfuch pointed out that there is an ongoing investigation to locate the leaders of these networks in Michoacán, including alleged high-level members of the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel.

The head of the SSPC confirmed the participation of citizens from different countries, mainly from Colombia. We are working in coordination with Colombian authorities to strengthen the investigations. In the coming days, the exact number of people arrested related to the manufacture and use of these explosives will be specified.
