Some people tried to help the poor animals, but there was nothing they could do for the dogs, since the poison had already taken effect.
In social networks it was mentioned that unidentified people who traveled in a van, threw poisoned meat at the dogs, and obviously these hungry animals started devouring the meat at once.
Some people even said on social networks that these men could be staff from the City Council, and acknowledged that the problem of stray dogs in Buctzotz is worrisome, but pointed out that exterminating dogs in this way is not the solution.
A terrible act of animal cruelty was the slaughter of stray dogs registered in the municipality of Buctzotz, Yucatán on Wednesday August 29, where dozens of animals were poisoned by unidentified individuals.

This is so sad and cruel, They need to Spay and neuter, we have fixed well over three thousand dogs and cats here in chelem and the surrounding villages, it is easy,
We catch a dog, take it to our vet, she does the low cost surgery then we name the dog give it a green collar and a face book photo, gives them an identity,
Add a few signs saying dogs with green collars are fixed and harmless and now we have a happy dog population with less ill and starving dogs along with happy people who have less dogs and healthier dogs on the streets ?
