Overview
- Demonstrators walked from the Angel of Independence to the Zócalo in a peaceful march that briefly disrupted traffic on Paseo de la Reforma.
- Participants called for the immediate return of the dogs and cats, strict welfare protocols for any transfers, full identification, and clear location updates.
- Some protesters said the operation was a dispossession rather than a rescue, while authorities have rejected real-estate motives and cited alleged cruelty as the reason.
- Organizers reported they still lack precise information on where all the seized animals are being held and their health conditions.
- Refugio Franciscano representatives alleged poor handling during the seizure and transport, saying the animals were subjected to stress and risk.
