A jaguar, which is an endangered species in Costa Rica, was recently killed in a shelter in San Carlos.
Those suspected of committing such a cruelty are a group dedicated to illegal hunting.
Apparently, the subjects, who would be from Pital de San Carlos and San Ramón de Alajuela, are poachers; They would have animals, equipment and tools to carry out the illicit activity.
The feline was murdered about 22 days ago: the hunters were apparently angry because of the death of a dog they used to hunt. The canine was apparently attacked by a jaguar, after the cane invaded its natural habitat.
The atrocious event took place at Maquenque National Shelter of Mixed Wildlife, in the sector of Chaparrón de Pital.
