Allegedly Veracruz was recently wiped out, flooded and destroyed by a recent hurricane, leaving 1 million victims behind among a statewide population of 7 million plus. That is a bunch of crock.
Nevertheless, US newspapers barely picked up on the story probably because only about 14 died during the week when 20 or more were getting killed every day elsewhere in Mexico.
What did make the international news services though, was the escape of a crock of 400 or so crocodiles from a breeding farm.
Mexican news was not immune. Every major paper headlined the story. A day later the equivalent of the environmental protection agency supervising the farm trumpeted that NO, the crocs DID NOT get out, and that they still are within the farm property.
Today the Veracruz governor announced that paying hurricane victims for the capture of those crocodiles in their neighborhoods will be an economic boon to them.
I just love Mexico. It's almost as funny as Florida.
