Target: Renán Barrera Concha, Mayor of Mérida
Goal: Implement stringent measures to prevent animal neglect and abuse in Mérida.
In the serene Guadalupana neighborhood of Mérida, a disturbing scene unfolds. A Siamese cat, reportedly left tied to a tree for several days, faces harsh conditions. Residents report seeing the cat outdoors, rope-bound, deprived of food and water, and its health visibly declining. The owner’s alleged reasoning? The cat’s stubbornness and naughtiness. This situation raises profound concerns about animal welfare and the need for immediate action.
Eyewitnesses are appalled. They describe the cat’s dire state: left in the elements, without sustenance, its plight worsening. The act of tying an animal and denying it basic needs, as reported, is not only inhumane but also a violation of the animal’s rights. The owner’s justification does not excuse the apparent neglect. This incident has stirred outrage among locals, prompting them to seek aid from authorities.
Immediate intervention is imperative. The well-being of this cat and the prevention of similar cases hinge on decisive action. Urge the introduction of stricter laws and enforcement mechanisms in Mérida to protect animals from such alleged neglect and abuse. It’s time for a legal framework that ensures the safety and humane treatment of all animals in our community.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mayor Renán Barrera Concha,
I write to draw your attention to a troubling case of alleged animal neglect in our beloved Guadalupana neighborhood. Residents have witnessed a Siamese cat, reportedly tied to a tree for days, in deplorable conditions: exposed to the elements, without food or water, its health rapidly deteriorating. The owner’s alleged reasoning, citing the cat’s purported stubbornness, does not justify such treatment.
This case highlights a larger issue within our community – the need for robust animal welfare laws and their strict enforcement. The current situation, where an animal can reportedly be left tied and neglected based on an owner’s subjective judgment, indicates a significant gap in our legal and ethical standards regarding animal care. The residents’ report, highlighting the cat’s visible distress and the owner’s admission, paints a grim picture of the situation. Such alleged acts of neglect must not be overlooked or trivialized.
It is crucial to establish a precedent that protects animals from similar fates. The alleged suffering of this Siamese cat must catalyze change. We implore you to take immediate steps to ensure the safety of this cat and implement more stringent regulations against animal neglect and abuse in Mérida. Such measures are essential not only for the welfare of animals but also for fostering a community that values and upholds compassion and justice.
We trust in your leadership and commitment to justice to address this pressing issue. Your intervention can prevent future incidents of animal neglect and serve as a testament to Mérida’s dedication to the humane treatment of all living beings. We await your prompt and decisive action in this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

If I was being treated like crap I’d be ‘naughty’ too, this idiot needs to be banned from animal contact for life. He needs 100 hours working in an animal rescue, he needs a mental evaluation and more. But I’d be surprised if anything happens at all. Please, at least take the animal away from him and stop him from having more animals.
The last thing that is needed is for people like this man to be around animals, period. So, scrap the 100 hours working with animals. What this scumbag needs is prison time, a huge fine, no contact with animals ever again, and a mental evaluation. If he is diagnosed as having psychopathic tendencies, screw him. Psychos can’t be fixed. Into a single cell he goes … foe life.
Personally, I think psychopaths should be euthanized.
Well, tie him up to a tree w/o water or food for a month. If he lives then he is set free, and if not oh well. Who cares?
i hope the that the cat is saved. what if the owner self is tied to a tree for days without food and water. Would he survive?
Reading this, it appears no one stepped in and rescued the cat from the tree. Even if I had to rescue it in the middle of the night to avoid being seen by this bastard, I would have stolen this poor animal and it would NEVER have gone back to him. Can’t believe the neighbours watched this cat suffer for days and did nothing.
than the cat is nearly a week tied to the tree without food and water. the police did nothing
the angry neighbors indicated that they reported this case of animal abuse to the Municipal Animal Care Center (CEMAA). They hope that the Mérida City authorities will intervene to stop this abuse.
I had a Siamese cat and she was also naughty and stubborn, but I never punished her. Siamese cats are known for their stubbornness. Punishment is pointless in animals. The animal does not understand it and only becomes afraid. The owner is better off not having animals.
