In a house in the La Huelga neighborhood, authorities found 14 dogs suffering from malnutrition and with visible injuries caused by abuse. The site showed overcrowding and a lack of sanitation that endangered the animals' health. Authorities acted quickly to rescue the dogs and secure the scene.
The search was ordered by prosecutor Florencia Lassarte and carried out with the collaboration of the local police station and the Public Prosecutor's Office. Authorities are investigating whether the house operated as an illegal dog breeding and sales center. The next few hours will be crucial for taking statements and moving the case forward.

Investigation and legal consequences for the clandestine breeding facility in Cosquín
The prosecutor's office is deepening the investigation to identify those responsible and any possible accomplices. The dogs were evaluated by a veterinary doctor from the Judiciary who confirmed their severe state of neglect. The judiciary will seek exemplary penalties to deter this type of crime.
Similar operations have been carried out in different localities to eradicate illegal breeding facilities that violate animal welfare. These clandestine centers not only harm the dogs but also pose health risks to the community. It is vital to strengthen oversight and sanction those who exploit animals with cruelty.
It is essential to promote firm actions and a genuine commitment to protect animals and prevent them from suffering abuse again. Those who set up breeding facilities without regulations or care demonstrate a complete lack of ethics and respect. The law must be enforced to its fullest extent against these individuals to prevent future cases and set a clear precedent of criminal warning.
