| Someone constructed this base of rocks and dirt in Lake Catemaco, on the Malecon, next to Restaurant Gorel (the restaurant that displays shells of protected turtles on their wall, and no one complains). We want to know who is responsible for the construction; the reason for construction; and above all, who gave permission for the construction. It is necessary that municipal government put a stop to the continuous construction existent on the Catemaco Malecon. We are getting to the point where we can neither see the lake or access the beach. |
| WHO, WHY, AND WITH WHOSE PERMISSION? October 8, 2011 |
| Restaurant "Palapa La Hueva Jarocha" October31, 2011 |
| DEMATAC has filed a complaint with PROFEPA against the proprietor of the restaurant “Palapa la Hueva Jarocha, located at Av. Juárez s/n between Dr. Argudin and Gorostiza, San Andrés Tuxtla, Veracruz. The proprietor is Sr. Carlos Alberto Chazaro Flores. The restaurant has a tank approximately 4 by 9 feet containing approximately 30 turtles of different species and a small crocodile. We ask that PROFEPA visit the establishment to determine if they have obtained the appropriate permits to keep these animals in captivity; and their objective in keeping them. We hope for a prompt reply from PROFEPA. |
| White Tailed Fawn Dies November 8 , 2011 We received an anonymous phone call advising us of a White Tailed Fawn being held in captivity in the community of Pozolapan, in the municipality of Catemaco; at the home of the Villegas Santiago family. We immediately advised PROFEPA in Catemaco. PROFEPA inspectors visited the residence and later advised us that the family had in fact had the fawn, but that it died as a result of wounds caused by dogs. The family states that they attempted to treat the wounds, but were unsuccessful and the fawn did not survive. |
