Prosecutors in Mexico said Saturday they have seized a huge collection of exotic animals including 10 tigers, six jaguars, five lions and other species in a cartel-dominated town.
The announcement came just a week after U.S. prosecutors revealed that a boss of the Sinaloa cartel fed his enemies, alive and dead, to tigers he kept.
Authorities did not identify the owner of the land where the vast menagerie was found. But the township of La Barca, Jalisco has been the scene of mass graves and cartel executions in the past.The animals appear to have been kept in pens, stalls and cages over a wide area. In 2013, at least 65 bodies were unearthed from clandestine burial pits around La Barca, which is located near the neighbouring state of Michoacan.
The seizure came a week after U.S. prosecutors revealed grisly details about how some drug lords use tigers.
