Armando Víctor Gutiérrez

Armando Víctor Gutiérrez is the president of the Comité Estatal de Fomento, Sanidad y Movilización Pecuaria de Nuevo León (Cefosamp). He has been vocal about the need to close Mexico's southern border to prevent the illegal entry of infected cattle, emphasizing the importance of protecting the northern ranchers who are not experiencing outbreaks of the contagious 'gusano barrenador'. Gutiérrez argues that instead of penalizing northern cattle producers, the U.S. government should collaborate with Mexico to ensure the continuation of cattle imports, as Mexican livestock accounts for a significant portion of the protein consumed in the U.S.
