Overview

• Federal inspections from September 25–27 found Mina in severe physical decline with malnutrition, skin lesions and no rehabilitation protocol, and documented a leptospirosis diagnosis with no treatment records on file.
• Profepa ordered Mina’s immediate transfer to Fundación INVICTUS in Pachuca, where she is under intensive veterinary care with round‑the‑clock monitoring.
• The temporary closure is grounded in LGEEPA and the General Wildlife Law, will be lifted once urgent corrective measures are met, and the zoo remains responsible for caring for animals still on site.
• Parque Fundidora and Nuevo León officials denounced the action as politicized and said they will challenge it legally, pausing intake of new wildlife and noting responsibility for 91 state animals and more than 500 owned by the park.
• Following an internal review that acknowledged negligence, park leadership removed zoo coordinator Gustavo Sepúlveda Villarreal from his post.
