What Were Bengal Tigers Doing at a Mexican Fuel Smuggling Site?
When Mexican authorities raided a suspected fuel smuggling operation near the U.S. border, they expected to find stolen diesel. What they uncovered instead exposed a disturbing connection between organized crime and the global wildlife trafficking crisis.
Mexican authorities have seized more than 135 exotic and endangered animals, including five Bengal tigers, three lions and three jaguars, in a raid on suspected fuel smugglers in the state of Tamaulipas. The case highlights the link between organized crime and the illegal wildlife trade, as exotic animals often serve as status symbols for criminal gangs.
