The accused was also accused of threatening the owner of the animal with a machete.

In addition to this, animals such as goats, rabbits and chickens were found alive inside sacks, which were going to be sacrificed on the spot, in breach of health measures. What most caught the attention of the authorities and officials of the Ministry of Health was certifying how in the kitchen of the establishment there was a goat inside a basket, with its legs tied up and dying.

In a video recorded by the authorities, it was revealed that a Chinese citizen, who appears to be the owner of the establishment, assured that she bought the animals in the gallery (market square) and that they “are for human consumption.” “That is a goat, don’t go saying that he is a dog. We just brought those animals from the gallery, the animals are not for Chinese food, they are for our consumption. We have not killed the goat, he is still alive, ”commented the citizen.

Animal defenders and animal activists in the Valley rejected the preventive closure of the place, since during the inspection animal abuse was evidenced, they also highlighted that the animals found were slaughtered in the same restaurant, for which, according to them, the establishment must face criminal actions and have a final closure. In addition, they asked the health authorities of the Valley to carry out this type of action in other cities, especially in Cali.

At the beginning of 2020, a Chinese food restaurant was temporarily sealed by the health authorities in the municipality of San Gil, the suspension was related to a complaint about the alleged sale of dog meat in said establishment, in response to the case the owner of the place spoke to El Tiempo and assured that the case was a misunderstanding.

According to Osuna, the photographs that circulated on social networks where a skinless four-legged animal was seen in a kitchen did correspond to the Chinese food restaurant that she manages.

“The photos were indeed here. The person was fixing two camuros that were bought here in San Gil in the market square. They were bought for an event that asked to give a typical dish from the region”, indicated Osuna, to the aforementioned medium.

The camero is a quadruped animal similar to the goat and the sheep, in San Gil it is common to find the species and for the population of the region it is common to consume it. A piece of the animal’s leg would have remained from the aforementioned event, which was refrigerated in one of the restaurant’s refrigerators.

The argument that the authorities had to carry out the temporary sealing was because the owners of the establishment did not present documents of the origin of the meat that they used in the place; however, the administrator assured that the products were purchased from the municipality’s market place.

It is necessary to emphasize that the camero does have characteristics similar to those of the sheep and the goat, but they have thick fur, which protects them from high temperatures. Unlike goat or lamb, the meat of this animal is less fatty, but due to its strange flavor it can only be eaten roasted.
