Activists have alleged that despite the existence of legal mechanisms as part of the Declaracion Universal de los Derechos de los Animales de 1978, the enforcement of such laws has not been effective.

Assessments & Forecast
- Based on precedent, including similar protests held nationwide on June 26, 2023, the upcoming demonstrations are likely to draw an attendance in the mid-to-high hundreds at each location. The protest march in Mexico City can be expected to draw a higher turnout in the mid-to-high thousands.
- While demonstrations are expected to transpire peacefully without any major incidents of unrest, a bolstered security presence can nonetheless be expected near the protest locations.
- Consequently, localized disruptions to vehicular and pedestrian traffic can be anticipated in the vicinity of the protest locations.
Recommendations
Those operating or residing in Mexico on June 30 are advised to allot for disruptions to travel in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations due to the slated demonstrations.
