Overview
- Profepa imposed a temporary total closure after Sept. 25–27 inspections found severe deterioration of Mina’s health, malnutrition, skin lesions and a lack of rehabilitation protocols.
- The agency ordered Mina’s immediate transfer to Fundación INVICTUS in Pachuca, where veterinarians are treating her leptospirosis and related conditions.
- Records reviewed by inspectors showed a leptospirosis diagnosis with no documented treatment, a zoonotic risk that officials cited in applying the precautionary closure.
- The shutdown will be lifted once urgent corrective measures are met, and Profepa says it will step up inspections of zoological facilities nationwide.
- Parque Fundidora’s leader called the closure politicized and announced legal action, while the zoo and state officials assert Mina arrived already ill, a claim under federal review.
