“They are suffocating, trampling, tying up and killing a black bear,” environmental defender Arturo Islas Allende warned on Facebook in a message shared 20,000 times on Tuesday and commented on almost 5,000 times. His message is published with photos, which coincide with a video where we see the black bear cub lying on the ground, with its paws glued together.
An “attack on biodiversity”

The governor, Miguel Riquelme, condemned the death of the black bear and announced the opening of an investigation as it is an endangered species. “The black bear is the living symbol of conservation in Coahuila. We must all respect his life and his environment,” added the governor.
