Mexico City Extortion: Dog Fights Used to Demand Money

Mexico City: Dog Fights Used in Extortion Scheme A disturbing new method of extortion has emerged in Mexico City, involving staged dog fights to extort money from dog owners. The scheme, highlighted by a recent video from El Heraldo de M xico, shows a group of women deliberately provoking fights between dogs. One such incident, captured on surveillance camera footage on May 29th, resulted in a violent confrontation between the dog owners. "The images reinforce the accusation that this tactic is used as a form of extortion," states the report. The video shows a clear altercation between dog owners following a dog fight. One owner describes the scene as "a major confrontation in a public place." The victim filed a report with the Public Ministry, leading to an investigation into possible violations of Article 26 of the Civic Culture Law. The court case highlights the growing problem of animal abuse and violent crime in the city. The investigation is ongoing, and the court will determine the responsibility of those involved. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for increased awareness and protection of animals in urban environments.
