Overview

• In Neuquén’s Cuenca XVI neighborhood, residents say a police patrol vehicle ran over and killed an elderly family dog without stopping to render aid.
• Community members filed a denuncia at Comisaría 18 and warn they will approach the force’s Asuntos Internos division if authorities do not identify the patrol or announce an internal investigation.
• In Mar del Plata’s barrio Libertad, a 42-year-old woman was detained after stabbing a neighbor’s dog that attacked her caniche, with both animals treated and reported out of danger following police intervention.
• Prosecutor Eduardo Layús charged the suspect with threats and damage and ordered her held at Unidad Penal N°50 de Batán pending an excarcelation hearing.
• These incidents underscore growing public concern over dangerous dog episodes and renewed calls for stricter animal-control enforcement and institutional accountability in Argentina.
