BACKGROUND | FROM THE PERSIAN HORSE’S BLOG

There are no words to fully describe the horror to which the animals are subjected, at Mercado San Bernabe, located in Almoloya de Juárez, State of Mexico, MEXICO. The San Bernabe market is in violation of two federal and four state sanitary laws concerning animal health, ecological balance and environmental protection, which state the importance of dignified and respectful treatment of animals.

There is one man, the Governor of the State of Mexico, MEXICO, who has the power to enforce Federal and State Laws concerning Humane Treatment of Animals. Please send the following pre-written letter, which has been provided for your convenience in Spanish, to Governor Enrique Peña Nieto.

LETTER #1 TO SEND

A quien correponda,

Por este medio, quiero expresar mi total rechazo a la manera cruel e indigna en que tratan a los animales en “El Mercado de San Bernabé, Almoloya de Juárez, Estado de México, es una vergüenza para México y es urgente resolver esta terrible situación, los ciudadanos de cada país en el mundo están reportando que no van a viajar a México hasta que las autoridades se pongan a trabajar y tomen cartas en el asunto, detengan este horror.

Urgente que se resuelva el asunto del Mercado de San Bernabé!!! la forma en que abusan y torturan a los animales no humanos es HORROROSA!!!, se tiene que poner orden ahí si es que desean los votos de los activistas de derechos animales y somos millones por si acaso les interesa saber, además contamos con todo el apoyo internacional, ahì les encargo, gracias.

En Almoloya de Juárez, Estado de México, se encuentra el Mercado llamado San Bernabé, donde se comercia principalmente, con caballos mulas y burros, en condiciones de crueldad y falta de higiene extremas, violando consistente y permanentemente, las leyes de protección animal y de sanidad. Las autoridades, teniendo plena facultad y pruebas para clausurar el sitio (a través de imágenes mostradas en múltiples medios), han hecho caso omiso a este reclamo.

Los animales en venta, en su mayoría, están visiblemente enfermos; son transportados en condiciones deplorables, y arrastrados sádicamente, sin importar que tengan fracturas expuestas, estén sangrando o tengan llagas. Cuando ya no pueden sostenerse en pie, son colgados con mecates para simular que aún tienen fuerza. Carecen de atención médica, agua y alimento y si mueren antes de llegar al rastro, son abiertos en el mismo sitio en que se encuentran, tirando sus vísceras al piso.

Les llaman “animales de desecho”, y se les mantiene con vida hasta el último momento, en una lenta y gran agonía, porque el kilo de carne viva cuesta casi el doble que el de la muerta.

Por lo aquí expuesto, exigimos a las autoridades competentes, la mejora inmediata de las condiciones existentes en este cruel lugar, utilicen rampas, denles a beber agua fresca y limpia, asegurense que se les de un trato humanitario y digno a estos bellos seres sintientes, después de todo es lo mínimo que todo ser humano pensante puede hacer.

Atentamente,

To whom corresponding, by this means, I would like to express my total opposition to the cruel and shameful way they treat the animals in the market of San Bernabé, Juárez, Mexico State, Almoloya is a shame for Mexico and is urgent to solve this terrible situation, citizens of every country in the world are reporting that they will not travel to Mexico until the authorities put to work and take letters on the matter”stop this horror.

Urgent to resolve the issue of the market of San Bernabé! the way in which abuse and torture of non-human animals is APPALLING!, is to get order there if they want the votes of animal rights activists and we are millions if you perhaps want to know, we also have full international support, ahì commissioned them, thanks.

In Almoloya de Juárez, State Mexico, lies the market called San Bernabé, where mainly traded with horses mules and donkeys, in extreme conditions of cruelty and lack of hygiene, consistent and permanently, to violate laws on animal protection and health. Authorities, taking evidence and full school to close down the site (through images shown in multiple media), have ignored this claim.

Animals for sale, are most visibly ill; they are transported in deplorable conditions, and dragged sadistically, regardless that they have exposed fractures are bleeding or have sores. When no longer can sustain is on foot, they are hung with mecates to simulate that they still have force. They lack food, water and medical care and if they die before reaching the trail, are open in the same place are, pulling their guts on the floor. They are called ‘animal waste’, and they were kept alive until the last moment, in a slow and great agony, because kilo of meat living costs almost double that of the dead.

By it herein, we demand that competent authorities, the immediate improvement of the conditions that exist in this cruel place, use ramps, give them to drink fresh clean water, make that is them humanitarian and dignified treatment to these beautiful sentient beings, after all it is the least that everything be human thinking can do. Sincerely, Name (name) Country (country)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION  | LETTER #2

Dear Sir Enrique Peña Nieto:

Respectfully I hereby demand the enforcement of Mexican federal and state regulations to ensure the humane treatment of animals at the San Bernabe market located in Almoloya de Juarez.

News of how animals are treated at San Bernabe is now reaching countries outside Mexico and people are shocked to hear that this is allowed to continue. You, as the current Governor of Estado de Mexico, and a respected and rising political figure in Mexico are the person with the power to improve conditions at San Bernabe.

We, the citizens of the international community, who visit and do business with Mexico urgently ask you to address the cruelty of San Bernabe which has no place in today’s society. I will continue to follow the situation at San Bernabe and I will be waiting to see some urgently needed improvements to the treatment of animals at San Bernabe under your leadership!

Thank you, Governor.

Respectfully,

Your Name

Your Country
