On April 17, 2025, in Mexico City, Mexico, members of the Lomitos Club collective gather to offer help, care, and veterinary aesthetics to Don Jose Demetrio Trejo de la Rosa's pack of dogs. He has lived for 15 years in an underpass that was formerly a sewage canal, with 11 dogs of different ages. Their names are Forastero, Chaparra, Chapo, Volador, Flaca, Pinto, Rosi, Ojos, Coffee, Canelo, and Chino. Lomitos Club emerges as a self-managed project in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and health emergency in the capital, due to the urgent need to rescue abandoned or injured dogs and place them with people or families who commit to responsible adoption under various protocols. The multidisciplinary team consists of Ana, Ashanti, Andrea, Paola, Aura, Jose Luis, Mari, Lulu, Monica, Coco Huaf (dog groomer), among other volunteers and others who join this cause. Jose Demetrio Trejo de la Rosa is a Jehovah's Witness originally from the state of Puebla. He claims to have been an immigrant because he moved to the United States 17 years ago in search of better living conditions but was deported for lacking the necessary documentation to prove his residency in that neighboring country. Since then, he lives with many dogs that have been abandoned in the area, offering them food, care, and love in his space to prevent them from being run over and abused. According to data from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, there are more than 29 million dogs and cats living on the streets in Mexico, making it the country with the highest number of homeless animals in all of Latin America.

Sri Lankan Government officers stage protest, they demand to reduce cost of living and increase by 20000 LKR their salaries in Colombo, Sri Lanka on October 30, 2023 The high cost of living in Sri Lanka can be attributed to several interconnected factors. The depreciation of the Sri Lankan rupee against major foreign currencies has made imports more expensive, directly affecting the prices of goods and services as many items are imported. The country's substantial external debt burden exerts immense pressure on its finances, with a significant portion of the government's budget allocated to servicing this debt, limiting the funds available for crucial social programs that could ease the cost of living for citizens. Additionally, external factors such as global economic uncertainty and the disruptive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have further strained the country's economy and contributed to price increases. Rising energy costs, particularly for fuel and electricity, have created a cascading effect on the prices of goods and services, as transportation and manufacturing costs have surged. Reductions in government subsidies on essential items, including fuel and food, have directly translated into higher prices for consumers, exacerbating the cost of living. Moreover, the presence of income inequality means that many Sri Lankans struggle to afford basic necessities as the overall cost of living continues to rise, necessitating a multifaceted approach to address these challenges comprehensively.
