Bibliography

Mexico has made progress in animal protection with laws that punish mistreatment. There are two approaches: animal welfare, which allows controlled use of animals, and animal rights, which seeks to recognize their rights. Although animal welfare is more prevalent, the animal rights movement is growing.

Animal welfare vs. animal rights

In Mexico City, our Political Constitution "recognizes animals as sentient beings and, therefore," mandates that "they must receive dignified treatment." It also establishes that all people must "respect the life and integrity of animals" as sentient beings, as well as provide them with "dignified and respectful treatment" in the terms outlined by that Constitution.

Animal Abuse and Mistreatment

Illegal wildlife trafficking is a federal crime in Mexico, typified in the General Wildlife Law (2000). However, it is necessary to strengthen international cooperation and effective law enforcement to prevent the illegal sale of wild and exotic animals.
