The violence in Mexico’s Sinaloa state continues. (See previous articles here<\/a> and here<\/a> ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a Reuters <\/a>report, “Some 53 people have been killed and 51 others are missing in Mexico’s western Sinaloa state since rival factions of the Sinaloa Cartel began clashing on Sept 9, local authorities said on Friday [September 20], with gruesome violence showing no signs of abating<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sinaloa cartel is the biggest criminal organization in the hemisphere. The current conflict pits two factions against each other, the faction led by the son of “El Mayo” Zambada (recently captured in the U.S.) vs. the Chapitos<\/em>, sons of “El Chapo” Guzman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One weird result of the conflict was reported by Reuters: “Mexico’s Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (Profepa) said it was providing resources to local authorities to feed a tigress tied to a tree. Senior Sinaloan narcos often keep tigers as pet animals. Profepa said in a statement that vets in Sinaloa had declined to assist due to security fears, and it had provided military officials with a ‘cage, a dart rifle and darts’. But the violence had prevented the military from rescuing it.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drug barons do like to keep exotic animals. There are now hippopotamuses in Colombia<\/a> because they were introduced there by Pablo Escobar<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
