Allegations of mistreatment persist at the Chapultepec Zoo: animals under stress, cramped enclosures, and poor conditions

Persistent allegations of mistreatment have been raised regarding the animals housed at the Chapultepec Zoo. Documentation from the organization PETA Latino highlights growing concern over conditions at the facility, specifically noting that animals are subjected to stress, confined to reduced enclosures, and kept in poor overall environments, including penguins exposed to the elements.

Separately, agricultural sectors in Argentina are facing severe impacts from the El Niño phenomenon, which has resulted in the deaths of nearly 10,000 cattle and financial losses reaching 47,000 million. The resulting drought has drastically reduced water and food availability in pastures, elevating alarms among farmers struggling to sustain their livestock.
