Profepa secures three parakeets atolls and 28 skins and parts of wildlife in tianguis of Hidalgo; there is a detained

During an operation at the weekly livestock market in Actopan, Hidalgo, Mexican environmental authorities (Profepa) seized three Tolúcan parrots (Eupsittula canicularis) and 28 products, byproducts, parts, and derivatives of wild animals. The individual selling these items failed to prove their legal origin, leading to their seizure and the person's arrest by the Attorney General's Office. The parrots were sent to a rescue unit in Pachuca for care, and they, along with other species like macaws and parrots, are classified as 'seriously threatened' due to illegal trafficking and habitat destruction. Additionally, Profepa recovered twelve complete antlers and eight antler pendants from white-tailed deer, as well as various animal-derived products such as armadillo shells, taxidermy of hawks, and skins of different mammals. These items were confiscated under Mexico’s Wildlife Protection Law.
