Mexican narcos’ fascination with exotic animals was on display this week after a spider monkey dressed up as a drug gang mascot was killed in a shootout, a 450-pound (200 kilogram) tiger wandered the streets in the Pacific coast state of Nayarit, and a man died after trying to pet a captive tiger in a cartel-dominated area of western Michoacan state.To get more news about green bulletproof vest, you can visit bulletproofboxs.com official website.

Like scenes out of a narco television series, exotic animals have been long been part of the Mexican criminal underworld.

Photos from the scene of a shootout Tuesday with police in which 11 drug gang members died, showed a small monkey — dressed in a tiny camouflage jacket and a tiny “bullet-proof” vest — sprawled across the body of a dead gunman who was apparently his owner.

Inexplicably, the well-equipped dead gunman had a plastic bucket on his head.Authorities in the State of Mexico confirmed the authenticity of the photos, and said it was unclear whether the monkey — which was also wearing a diaper — died in the hail of bullets that killed his owner.

“A primate was killed at the scene, which was presumably owned by a criminal who was also killed at the scene,” state prosecutors said in a statement, adding “An autopsy will be carried out on the animal by a veterinarian specialized in the species” and animal-trafficking charges would be considered against the suspects who survived the shootout.True to form, the monkey quickly got his own “corrida,” the traditional Mexican folk ballad often composed in honor of drug capos.

“Life is very short, it wasn’t the monkey’s turn (to die),” according to the ballad, posted on social media.Then on Wednesday, the Attorney General for Environmental Protection said it had seized a tiger in Tecuala, in the Pacific coast state of Nayarit, near the border with Sinaloa, which is home to the cartel of the same name.

The office said it acted “after receiving reports about a Bengal tiger that was wandering the streets of Tecuala,” and found that the animal was being illegally kept there.Those reports were based on a video posted on social media earlier this week, showing a young woman shrieking as she came across the tiger on the street in a residential neighborhood. “Be quiet, it might come close,” a woman can be heard saying on the video.

Authorities said the tiger’s claws and fangs had been removed, and a man can be seen later in the video casually tossing a rope over the tiger’s neck and leading him away.

Perhaps the most tragic story came out of the western state of Michoacan, which has long been dominated by the Carteles Unidos gang and the Jalisco cartel.

On Sunday, authorities confirmed that a man was seriously wounded by a tiger in Periban, Michoacan, a town in the state’s avocado-growing region, where gangs have long extorted protection payments from the lucrative avocado trade.
