Overview

• Footage shared on social media shows a small dog tied beneath a flatbed-style pickup and being dragged through Puerto Escondido, appearing inert in the recording.
• A motorcyclist who filmed the scene tried to stop the vehicle by honking but the driver continued moving, according to the videos posted online.
• The Fiscalía de Oaxaca and municipal authorities say investigations are underway to identify and sanction those responsible for the incident.
• Officials have not announced any arrests or charges as of the latest reports, with the case treated as potential animal cruelty under state and federal statutes.
• The outrage follows other reported abuse cases in Oaxaca, including alleged mass dog poisonings in San Pablo Villa de Mitla, intensifying public and political pressure for enforcement.
