OUTRAGE IN CANCUN!

2/19/05

The photos below detail the actions of Opresa Construction Company, the primary

contractor for La Gran Plaza Cancun - a mall being developed ostensibly as

further capitalization on the tourist trade in the area.

 

Opresa made a bogus deal to acquire land being used as a private shelter for the

street dogs of Cancun - promising the owner and operator of the shelter that

they would construct a new facility for her on land in an area called the Bonfil

Ejido. This shelter was being operated by Rosalinda Figueroa Castillo, a woman

of average means, as her personal charitable effort - which she has done for the

past eleven years with meager resources and little support. She rescued and

housed 186 dogs from the streets of Cancun - providing them with food, care, and

shelter, rescuing them from lives of neglect, disease, suffering and starvation.

A few months ago, a team of concerned veterinarians and volunteers even

conducted a sterilization clinic at her shelter, neutering a great number of the

dogs there.

 

Opresa did not complete the construction as promised. Instead, after stalling

and delaying in the completion of the promised facility they willfully and

deliberately initiated destruction of Rosalinda's shelter, and used heavy

equipment to bury more than 33 dogs alive - sending scores of other injured and

terrified animals scattering back onto the streets!

 

Even worse, on 2/17/05 when Rosalinda and her son arrived to find that temporary

structures she and her friends had reconstructed had again been razed, she was

then assaulted by a mob of Opresa's workers - who beat her son and dislocated

her shoulder, sending them both to the hospital. They then continued to kick and

beat the remaining dogs - sending them fleeing from what remained of the

shelter. A number of the fleeing dogs were struck by cars. Others had been

raised at the shelter since they were puppies, and knew no other home. While

several of the workers were briefly jailed for this assault, the outrage of this

can never be fully rectified - and no amount of PR will ever redeem Opresa

Construction Company for it's demonstrated cruelty, inhumanity and greed.

 

 

The unspeakable cruelty of Opresa Construction Company's workers is shown in

these very graphic photographs:
