Elena Larrea, Social Media Influencer and Animal Activist, Dead at 31 – E! Online

“Her mark remains in our hearts and in the animals rescued by her,” the organization shared in an Instagram post translated from Spanish, adding in the caption, “We not only lost a friend, also the animals lost a brave woman, a great example of struggle for the new generations.”

Meanwhile, Puebla governor Sergio Salomón described Larrea as a “tireless fighter for the defense of animal welfare.”

“The rescue of thousands of horses in conditions of abuse leaves testimony to her life and work,” he wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) in Spanish. “We inform that, through the Ministry of the Environment, we will guarantee the protection of the specimens found in Cuacolandia, derived from procedures of the Animal Welfare Institute. Likewise, we will provide all the necessary help so that other horses are cared for by the authorities that rescued them as well as the rest of the horses, prioritizing their well-being at all times. We will follow your example. Rest in peace, Elena.”
