Nuevo León Governor Orders Sanctions, Closure After Video Shows Dog Forced to Drink Whisky

The response centers on swift enforcement backed by a plan to toughen Nuevo León’s animal-cruelty penalties.

Overview

  • A viral clip from Aramberri shows at least three men forcing a dog to drink whisky, with the post tied to the account “_henry743,” which was later closed.
  • Governor Samuel García said Parques y Vida Silvestre and the new Environmental Division were dispatched to sanction those involved and to close the site of the incident.
  • Under Article 445, animal cruelty in Nuevo León is punishable by six months to three years in prison plus fines and possible business closures.
  • García announced and signed state measures to raise penalties to as much as nine years in prison for repeat environmental and animal-cruelty offenses.
  • He also moved to penalize recording and publishing acts of cruelty, with tougher consequences when minors are present, as activists named Víctor Manuel “N” as a possible suspect and formal charges remained pending.
