Probably accustomed to making their mark wherever they go, members of the Los Mexicles gang linked to the Sinaloa cartel have tattooed a cat in the prison where they are incarcerated.
The poor animal, which appears to be a Sphynx, has “Made in Mexico” tattooed on its side which is believed to be the gang’s symbol within the walls of the penitentiary.
The pet was seized by authorities during a raid at Cereso No. 3 State Prison in Ciudad Juárez. We do not know if he is in good condition.
