The triumphant journey of Benito, the giraffe: Victory for animal rights activists in Mexico
Animal defenders celebrate Benito’s transfer to a zoo in Puebla and continue their fight against animal abuse in Mexico.
Animal rights groups in Mexico celebrated the successful journey of Benito, a three-year-old male giraffe, from Ciudad Juárez to a zoo in Puebla, highlighting the transfer as a victory in their fight against animal abuse in the country.
Benito, who lived in the Central Park of Ciudad Juárez, was transferred to Africam Zafari in Puebla, a trip of almost 2,000 kilometers, after a sentence issued by a district judge in the state of Chihuahua. Activists stated that the decision was made to protect Benito from the adverse weather conditions in Ciudad Juárez and ensure his well-being in a more suitable environment.
Perla de la Rosa, an activist from the Animalist Council, said that the sentence was a response to the “irrationality” of having a giraffe in an inappropriate place and extreme climates. She celebrated Benito’s new life in a specialized environment and in the company of others of his species.
Daniel Castillo, a resident of Ciudad Juárez, described Benito as a “symbol” who provided peace and tranquility to the community. He stated that after investigating the new home in Africam Zafari, they are confident that Benito will be well taken care of.
Frank Carlos Camacho, director of Africam Safari, highlighted his zoo’s experience in caring for giraffes and other animals for almost 50 years, ensuring a suitable environment for Benito.
The activists stressed that, although Benito found a better destiny, his fight to prevent animal abuse in Mexico continues.

Colombian coffee production hits 14.8 million bags, best in over three decades
Colombia closed the 2024/25 coffee season with a production of 14.8 million 60-kilogram bags, marking a 17% increase compared to the previous cycle and the highest output in 33 years, the National Federation of Coffee Growers (FNC) announced on Tuesday.
According to FNC data, Colombia produced 14,869,000 bags between September 2024 and August 2025, up from 12.7 million bags in the previous harvest.
FNC manager Germán Bahamón highlighted that this performance “reaffirms the reliability of Colombian coffee origin in the global market” and reflects “the disciplined work of producers, the impact of responsible crop renewal, professional technical assistance, and the favorable weather conditions that supported the production process.”
Looking ahead to the 2025/26 cycle, the FNC warned of a possible drop in output due to the physiological response of coffee plants and the heavy rains expected in the coming semester.
“Each season brings new challenges and opportunities. We will work with determination to ensure that farmer profitability remains the foundation of sustainability and the future of the entire coffee chain,” Bahamón wrote on X.

Authorities investigate triple homicide of young women in southern Buenos Aires
The bodies of three women, two aged 20 and one 15, were found on the outskirts of Buenos Aires in a case authorities are investigating as a revenge killing linked to drug trafficking, the provincial Security Minister reported on Wednesday.
“Apparently, they were going to attend an event they had been invited to, unaware that it was a trap organized by a transnational drug trafficking group planning to kill them,” said Javier Alonso, Buenos Aires provincial Security Minister, during a press conference.
So far, four people have been arrested for aggravated homicide, including the owner of the house where the bodies were discovered, though Alonso suggested that more individuals may be involved.
Investigators determined that the victims voluntarily got into a vehicle on Friday night and were taken to a house in Florencio Varela, on the southern outskirts of Buenos Aires. The vehicle was later found burned near the property where the bodies were discovered in the garden.
While the exact motive is still under investigation, the minister explained that the women had previously encountered members of the criminal organization, and an incident involving them led to this act of revenge. Alonso estimated that the killings occurred the same night the women disappeared, and phone tracking helped reconstruct their movements.
On Tuesday, a small group of people, including neighbors of the victims, gathered at the roundabout where the women were last seen in southern Buenos Aires
