Only recently, two Bengal tigers and several deer were taken by police officers in Mexico City into their custody. Apparently, the animals will soon be sent to a sanctuary, where trained staff will make sure that their needs are properly met. Times of India reports that these animals were found while carrying out a raid at a drug laboratory located in the Mexican state of Jalisco.
The people who used to own the two tigers and the deer kept them in a warehouse, yet the police officers who helped rescue them are almost sure that they would have eventually ended up in so-called narco-zoos.
Because the people in charge of running this drug lab managed to clear the facility almost immediately after the police units arrived at the scene, no arrests were made.
