Mysterious cases of mass murder of cattle reached Bashkiria. Many assumed that the Chupacabra (namely, this mystical creature is usually blamed for the death of sheep) will appear in the south - a few years ago, the newspapers of Orenburg wrote about similar cases of attack. But in the southern regions of Bashkiria they knew nothing about it. But the north, it turns out, suffered
For a whole month, an unknown beast tormented the inhabitants of the village of Kurdym, which stands on the edge of Bashkiria, guarding the border with the Perm region. The people here live in the Bashkir way, hospitable, proud, but a little closed. Especially from those who say: "Hello, I am from the newspaper …". The northerners are not used to complaining, so the month of fear and horror that they had to endure at the end of this summer has become known to the general public in the person of Komsomolskaya Pravda journalists only now.
THE SHEEP DRINKED ALL THE BLOOD …
The center of rural life at lunchtime is at the local store. Women buy pasta and cookies for tea, schoolchildren buy sweets, and several picturesque drunks beg for vodka.
“It was scary,” two Kurdish people Almaz and Zufar tell in a meaningful whisper. - Here and there, rams and rabbits were killed in people. Who killed them and drank all the blood? By the way, can you pay five rubles for information?
The first victims of the strange beast were found not far from the store. All the livestock in the Akhunov family died.
- I went into the corral in the morning, and the rams are dead. I thought at first, they were poisoned with apples, with which I fed them in the evening,”says Luciya Akhunova.“It was hot, the window was opened, so the beast climbed in. He bit some on the neck, others on the side. And he pulled the little lamb out into the street. Maybe it's someone's dog? She ran away from the owner, and climbed up to us to eat.
True, it is clear that the woman has little faith in her own version of the dog. This means that the night visitor was not particularly hungry, since he did not bite off a piece of young lambs, in other houses he did not encroach on the tender meat of rabbits, he simply killed them. Another strange fact - there was not a drop of blood at any crime scene! As if the culprit only drank it.

HEARING REACHED THE NEIGHBORING AREAS
Zaki Habsalikov in Kurdim is known and respected by everyone. He is the owner of several local shops and is perhaps the wealthiest person here. At the end of the summer, the chupacabra attacked his shed - it also climbed through an open window. She killed six rams, but did not even touch chickens and four cats.
“I heard that two years ago the hunters lost a big red dog here. Maybe she's gone wild and climbs the barns, says Zaki. - In the same place it is not high to the window, only a meter and a half, and the window is open all year round. But the dogs would have eaten, and here they are just bodies … Only from one side the skin and hair are slightly stripped off.
“You know, somehow I don’t want to believe in Chupacabra, but what it is, I cannot explain,” Gulzira’s wife echoes him.
All the cattle killed by the mysterious beast had to be destroyed - it is no longer possible to eat such meat. How many sheep and rabbits the local residents took to the cattle burial ground - probably no one will say. There are dozens of rams and hundreds of rabbits.
In the meantime, a slight panic began in the village. People were afraid to let their children out in the evening. People's rumor attributed more and more victims to the beast. They even said that the beast tried to attack a boy who was sitting in the toilet near the house. But the beast was allegedly driven away by domestic dogs. The rumor, by the way, reached the neighboring Baltachevsky district - it is 60 kilometers from Kurdym. Some residents of the village of Starobaltachevo, just in case, did not even go to the forest to pick mushrooms. True, no one saw the Chupacabra itself.
And in September, hunters were invited to Kurdym, they shot all the stray dogs in the district (the village council insists on the version that the dogs had been euthanized) and the thefts seemed to have stopped. True, at the same time it got colder and rains began, so some local residents are sure that the same animal simply fled further to the neighboring areas.
BTW
Chupacabra in Bashkir is Ubyr
In Bashkir folklore, there is a certain creature Ubyr - a demon, a werewolf, a vampire. According to legends, he is a man during the day, and a bat, cat or dog at night. Ubyr sends troubles and diseases to people, and drinks blood from livestock, steals cubs.
According to legend, killing Ubyr in the form of a dog is not enough. We need to find his human body and drive an oak stake into it.

Who could it be?
Version 1. Wild dogs
- Nobody killed my cattle, and in general you forget about this Chupacabra, - the chairman of the Kurdym village council Ramir Akhmetov is indignant. - Hunters came to us, caught three or four wild dogs. We put them to sleep, the outrage stopped, that's the whole story.
Version 2. Wolves and ferrets
- A dog, even if it is feral, is not capable of strangling a sheep, especially a few. Usually wolves strangle their prey by squeezing its throat. In a strangled sheep, blood clots, so it does not have time to spill on the floor. And they remained in place, because the wolves could not drag them through the window, - says Professor of the Department of Zoology, Faculty of Biology, Bashkir State University, Doctor of Biological Sciences Mukamil Bayanov. “But ferrets could strangle rabbits, but they can't open the cages.
- Yes, closer to autumn, old wolves lead young animals to teach them how to gnaw rams, but after such "lessons" usually everything is covered in blood, - experienced hunters object.
Version 3. Chupacabra
The only argument against this version is that the chupacabra does not exist. Well, in any case, no one saw her.
