On June 5, 2026, a Junghans water delivery truck, identified as unit number 26, was recorded running over a stray dog in Puebla, causing the animal’s instant death. The video, shared by the animal rights group Fundación Patitas Enlodadas, shows the driver continuing on without stopping to check on or assist the injured dog, a moment that has sparked widespread condemnation.

The foundation’s statement highlights that while the accident itself is tragic, the real issue lies in the driver’s cold indifference after the incident. The footage reveals no attempt to help or even acknowledge the suffering caused, raising urgent questions about empathy and responsibility toward sentient beings.

Key points from Fundación Patitas Enlodadas’ message:
– Animals feel pain, fear, and suffering—they are not objects to be discarded without consequence.
– Indifference to animal suffering is a form of violence.
– The company Junghans must issue a public and immediate response explaining their stance and the measures they will take to ensure their drivers act responsibly and sensitively in such situations.
– Silence is unacceptable; companies operating in our communities have a moral duty to respond and act responsibly when their vehicles are involved in incidents harming animals.

This incident is a call to action for respect and protection of all sentient beings, reminding us that empathy and accountability must be part of how businesses operate.
