A Ferris wheel in Isla Mujeres was temporarily closed after several reports of dogs occupying the ride's seats. The decision was made by the local Department of Urban Development, Environment, and Transportation in response to a flurry of complaints on social media.
Despite the ride still being under construction, officials felt compelled to act due to potential risks to the safety of both the animals and the public. The department is now investigating how the dogs managed to gain access to the Ferris wheel.
The authorities are also scrutinizing the safety measures and regulations put in place by the ride's owner to prevent such incidents. The department has urged the public to continue reporting any instances of potential danger or animal cruelty to the appropriate authorities.
