Overview

• Cristina Marmolejo of Colectivo Salvemos La Pastora shared video showing a debilitated juvenile female bear at the Nuevo León zoo.
• The animal appears unable to stand and has a severe skin condition reported by activists and some specialists as mange.
• La Pastora says PROFEPA placed the rescued bear there two years ago and that it arrived with serious, irreversible illnesses affecting multiple organs and its paws.
• The zoo states it has provided continuous veterinary oversight, pain management, specialized feeding, adapted facilities and constant monitoring in coordination with PROFEPA.
• La Pastora says PROFEPA is the sole authority on the animal’s disposition, and a joint review with specialists is scheduled today to determine next steps.
