Mexican Cartels Pay 600 Pesos to Test Fentanyl on Humans and Animals, Including Rabbits and Chickens
Dec 26, 2024, 09:09 PM
A recent investigation has revealed that Mexican drug cartels, facing challenges in sourcing key chemicals for fentanyl production, are resorting to dangerous new additives, including animal tranquilizers. Reports indicate that these cartels are testing their lethal mixtures on vulnerable individuals, including homeless people, as well as on animals such as rabbits and chickens. Cartels reportedly pay approximately 600 pesos to individuals who volunteer as test subjects, with the outcomes often being fatal. The New York Times highlighted that this practice is part of a broader trend where cartels are innovating their production methods in response to global crackdowns on fentanyl. Sources confirm that the cartels document the effects of these drugs on their test subjects through video and photography.
