Overview
- A security camera recorded an October 5 assault in Unidad Habitacional Palmas 1 in which six dogs bit a woman for about a minute before a passing motorist drove up and rescued her.
- Excélsior reports at least 12 attacks in the same Ixtapaluca area, with new videos emerging that show a recurring pattern involving a roaming pack.
- Neighbors say the dogs frequent a large vacant lot near the site of the incidents and the pack is described in recent clips as numbering at least seven animals.
- Local officials say the footage helped identify the dogs, some of which were captured on public streets while others remain on private property.
- The Ixtapaluca government states the seized animals were not mistreated and will not be euthanized, as broader coverage highlights calls for sterilization, regulation of pet sales and mass vaccination in Mexico.
