People talk all the time about poverty, misery, even the educational debacle that the country is experiencingand a good part of that picture can be seen in the images that went viral this Thursday on the outskirts of one of the largest cities in Córdoba, Fourth quarter, the populous city that its inhabitants call ‘The Empire’. Everything happened after a truck carrying property overturned due to circumstances not yet specified in the area of the ring road.and immediately a large group of neighbors appeared to pounce on the animals, beating them to death, some were even dismembered in the middle of the street, to take advantage of the “free meat”…
The images that circulated on networks were certainly painfulto define them in some way, and everything that is repeated daily about the degradation and regression of broad sectors of society could be measured in the general laughter that sounded in the background of the video, giving a certainly ‘festive’ tone to that raw savagery.
This is how some of the cows were seen, already injured, trying to escape from the mob that was beating them with sticks and knives, others were trying to be hanged with some ropes, and those that had already died or were semi-fainted were loaded onto some carts. There were also people dragging pieces of the animals that had been slaughtered, trying to get out of the place before the police arrived. After a while, the uniformed men appeared and established a cordon, isolating the overturned truck from the hunger, and laughter, of those who had improvised that ‘slaughterhouse’ in the middle of the street. The ‘hunger games’, in the Rio Cuartenses version, had ended.
