Zapopan authorities temporarily closed and then fined three branches of the Maskota pet store this week for failing to meet animal health and safety standards.
The Maskota stores in Plaza Patria, Plaza Andares and Plaza del Sol were closed last Friday for having sick animals on display, overcrowded enclosures and poor hygiene standards. Inspectors also noted a strong smell of animal excrement and found that the air conditioning was not functioning properly and there were no licensed veterinarians on the premises.
