Zoo Director Accused Of Cooking 4 Goats And Serving Them At Christmas Party

A former zoo director in Chilpancingo, Mexico, was accused of slaughtering and cooking four pygmy goats from the zoo to serve at a Christmas party. The animals were deemed unfit for human consumption, putting partygoers at risk. The director was also under investigation for illegal animal trades, including selling deer and Watusi cattle without proper documentation.

It is still unclear if the former zoo director has been charged for his actions, but evidence indicates he also traded a zebra for tools that were not accounted for. Pygmy goats are typically kept as pets for their small size and affectionate nature, rather than for consumption. The zoo director's actions have raised concerns about the treatment and handling of animals in the zoo industry.
