The Mexican newspaper El Financiero reported on Monday that CJNG’s wave of terrorist violence forcefully left 1,080 tourists stranded at the Guadalajara Zoo. The stranded visitors reportedly came from other states neighboring Jalisco and had arrived on Sunday morning before the violent acts broke out. The visitors were unable to return to their places of origin due to the “narco-blockade” roadblocks that CJNG deployed across the city and were reportedly placed under law enforcement protection at the zoo.

“We have 1,080 people of all ages, from babies to seniors, sheltered at the Guadalajara Zoo. They are people from other states neighboring Jalisco, mainly Colima, Guanajuato, Nayarit, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, and Michoacán. They traditionally visit the zoo on weekends,” Guadalajara Zoo director Luis Soto said.

Soto reportedly explained that the zoo had received instructions to close the facility and avoid mass events, but that the visitors were already inside the zoo by the time he received the orders, prompting the zoo to allow them to stay inside. The director further explained that the zoo considered it the safest option over carrying out the corresponding evacuation proceedings as the visitors had nowhere else to go and “the situation of the streets was uncertain.”

"At this moment, the state police are coordinating the caravans that will be accompanying the approximately 500 people who remain at the zoo so that they can return by road to their cities of origin,” Soto reportedly informed on Monday. "

Caravans could make an easy target. Good luck to those stuk there.

That certainly explains the cheap rates for the hotel and airfare!

“Dan” should have known Guadalajara would not do... ;-)

[Pollard]

Is there any food left?

Kill and grill your own. It’s a zoo.

If this happened in Louisiana, the zoo would have recipes at each animal exhibit :)

Pray for safety.
