Wild animal sanctuary in Mexico shuts down after abuse

STORY: According to officials, footage from a former employee at the Black Jaguar, White Tiger Sanctuary reportedly showed malnourished tigers and lions. One lion had its tail missing.

The accusations have sparked a public outcry, with locals protesting against the sanctuary as authorities shut it down.

Mexican animal group AZCARM (Asociacion de Zoologicos, Criaderos y Acuarios de Mexico) told Reuters that over 200 animals were sheltered at the sanctuary.

A legal representative for the sanctuary told media that tough times from the pandemic made financing of the sanctuary difficult.

Mexican authorities will now undertake a complete investigation at the sanctuary and determine the health needs of the animals. New homes will reportedly be sought in zoos in the Mexican capital.

There is little data on funding for sexual health services globally, but experts agree that the sector is under-resourced.
