Zoo director accused of having killed and cooked four goats for an end-of-year party

Alerted by the death of a deer in the zoo in the city of Chilpancingo, in southern Mexico, local authorities have uncovered a vast system of embezzlement committed by the director, José Rubén Nava, who was removed from his post on January 12, reports the AP agency, relayed by The Guardian.

Authorities revealed that in December, four pygmy goats that were in the zoo were slaughtered and cooked on the orders of the former director, before being served to employees as part of an end-of-year party .

“This has endangered the health of employees because these animals are unfit for human consumption,” said Fernando Ruiz Gutierrez, director of wildlife at the local environment directorate.
