Recordando el emotivo texto de @ajcorchado “The braceros’ story underscores a theme throughout U.S. history. Somehow, Mexico has always been a part of the United States success, even if Americans, particularly Texans, don’t always see it that way.” dallasnews.com/news/immigrati…

TX National Guard members about to be deputized to carry out immigration enforcement on the border in El Paso

Esto es lamentable. 13 animales más fueron retirados por @Fiscalia_Chih Zona Norte debido a maltrato animal y los revictimizan nuevamente al irlos a depositar al CBA (Centro de Bienestar Animal), antes Centro Antirrábico de Cd. Juárez -al menos eso es lo que se sabe que se tiene como protocolo, que todos los nuevos ingresos ahí llegan. Es terrible y lamentable que sigan haciéndolo a pesar de que se les pidió/recomendó de buena manera dejar de hacerlo, para no seguir revictimizandolos y tener un poquito de consideración llevándolos al otro centro (RAMM) en donde al menos allá si hay personal veterinario de base, está decente y limpio y los animales pueden recibir un poco de sol. En octubre del año pasado Fiscalía de Chihuahua Zona Norte aseguró 45 animales por maltrato animal y los ingresó todos al CBA y de esos, muchos terminaron muertos. Incluso hay un video de un cachorrito de esos asegurados donde se ve como está agonizando y no hay personal veterinario cerca para que le de atención; al final ese cachorro murió. Lamentable. Ojalá el Alcalde de Cd. Juárez @CruzPerzCuellar pueda hacer algo. Igual Fiscalía Zona Norte ojalá con estos animalitos haya un seguimiento para saber qué pasa con ellos.
