The Chupacabra Phenomenon
Have you heard about the chupacabra?
Is this phenomenon a myth or a reality? Who knows! El Chupacabra [goat-sucker]
is a creature which isn't human at all. People who allege to have seen
it describe it as a smelly hairy creature with a kangaroo-like body
about three to five feet tall with big red eyes. The creature first made
its appearance in Mexico around 1994 when people began to discover their
chickens and goats had died. The weirdest thing was that the blood of
the animals had been sucked from them as if a vampire had attacked them.
The police reported that the deaths were due to dog attacks, but
ordinary people believed they were caused by creatures from outer space,
and they named the creature "El Chupacabra" because
this creature's victims were mainly goats. People who supposedly saw
this creature started to tell ridiculous stories that were really
impossible to believe. Many people, especially those in small towns or
on farms, began to fear the chupacabras to the point that they
didn't want to go out in the dark.
Soon the chupacabras became
famous all over Latin America because they traveled from Mexico, to
Puerto Rico, and into Central America. Some went as far as Florida. It
was really grotesque how the chupacabras traveled part of a
continent in less than a year, sucking the blood of goats wherever they
went. Why did the chupacabras pick on goats and not on other
delicious animals? People started to sell different trinkets related to
the chupacabra phenomenon. Many believed the chupacabra
was an alien from another planet. I believe this story is ridiculous and
impossible because if aliens were intelligent enough to come to this
planet, why would they pick on goats? Experts can't account for
all the killings of animals, but most believe the chupacabra was
a legendary animal.
