Reporter Pedro Morales, in an article on Argonmexico.com, reports: “Puebla shepherds are frightened by attacks on their herds, either by the Chupacabra, or by a wild dog or by some other creature that they cannot yet catch and have already killed. more than 300 goats in 50 days
Chupacabra (the Spanish word for goatsucker) belongs to the list of the most ridiculous monsters of our time, along with Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. This creature first appeared in 1995 in Puerto Rico. Over the next 5 years, he was reported in Mexico, Chile, Nicaragua, Spain, Argentina, Brazil and the United States (Florida), as well as elsewhere, although the number of reports has since declined sharply. And now, according to some reports, the monster returned.
It is not entirely clear from the news why, in fact, the mythical Chupacabra is listed among the predators. Some shepherds say they saw dogs running away from livestock. According to one herder, Chupacabra killed 62 of his goats: “They were killed at night. I returned in the morning and saw the scattered bodies of animals with bite marks. In 10 goats, I found bitten heads. It seems that the dogs are to blame for this, but they are not normal dogs! Something wild … I'm very scared."
According to one news report, "more than 36 animals were decapitated in the most bizarre way, without a drop of blood, which proves the machinations of the Chupacabra."
But if you look closely at the photographs, you will see that these statements are not true. After all, animals are not "decapitated", but have a bite in the neck - a classic sign of a dog or coyote bite. In addition, the reason why the animals died was precisely the loss of blood, and not, as the reports say, that everything happened "without a single drop of blood."
Local authorities searched in vain for Chupacabra. The search, you guessed it, only led to wild dogs. They were shot, and the meat and blood of the slaughtered cattle were found in their stomachs. All evidence points to canine attacks on livestock.
