Your Thoughts on the Chupacabra?

Question

This beast was very popular in the mid 1990s It was talked about alot on Coast to Coast with Artbell. Do you belive in this Beast!

I remember Watching A program in 1997 (could have been Inside Edition) Were they went out at night and they heard some strange noises in the PR jungle.

Answer 1

Didnt they find a dead Chupacabras? I heard there were recent cases of deaths linked to el chupacabras...maybe it does exist, who knows.

Answer 2

The creature's name originated with the discovery of some dead goats in Puerto Rico with puncture wounds in their necks and their blood allegedly drained. According to UFO Magazine (March/April 1996) there have been more than 2,000 reported cases of animal mutilations in Puerto Rico attributed to the chupacabra.

Puerto Rican authorities maintain that the deaths are due to attacks from groups of stray dogs or other exotic animals, such as the panther, illegally introduced in the island's territory. The director of Puerto Rico's Department of Agriculture Veterinary Services Division, Hector Garcia, has stated that there is nothing unusual or extraordinary about the cases they've observed. One veterinarian said "it could be a human being who belongs to a religious sect, even another animal. It could also be someone who wants to make fun out of the Puerto Rican people."

Like other creatures in the cryptozoologist's barnyard, the chupacabra has been variously described. Some witnesses have seen a small half-alien, half-dinosaur tailless vampire with quills running down its back; others have seen a panther like creature with a long snake-like tongue; still others have seen a hopping animal that leaves a trail of sulfuric stench. Some think it may be a type of dinosaur heretofore unknown. Some are convinced that the wounds on animals whose deaths have been attributed to the chupacabra indicate an alien presence. However, they do not attribute the "mutilations" to the aliens themselves, but to one of their pets or experiments gone awry. Such creatures are known as Anomalous Biological Entities [ABEs] in UFO circles.

Those who think the chupacabra is an ABE also believe that there is a massive government and mass media conspiracy to keep the truth hidden from the people, probably to prevent panic. This view is maintained despite the fact that the President of the Puerto Rico House of Representatives Agricultural Commission, Mr. Juan E. [Kike] Lopez, introduced a resolution asking for an official investigation to clarify the situation. Inside Edition sent a crew to Puerto Rico to investigate the ABE story. They allegedly ridiculed the Mayor of Canavanas, a witness to the chupacabra, and basically made fun of the whole idea.

Answer 3

Well the cattle mutilations did happen and bear similarities with those that occurred in America . I believe there is a worldwide cover up or the authorities just have no idea of whats behind it. It could be genetic experiments by ET'S or maybe the world government or an unknown animal . There is certainly a mystery there.

Answer 4

You know I actually knew a couple of guys that went looking for that chupacabra beast? I have a feeling it may even have been on that programme you mention - the timing was about right. They were linked with the Fortean Times. One guy was called John (real big guy), but I can't recall the other guy's name now.

Answer 5

There have been sightings of El Chupacabra in the past few months. A google search will bring up lots of cool stuff and photos. But I agree with a few others on here - I think they are alien.

Answer 6

4 or 5 years ago, all along central and south america, the cows died in a strange way..Their heads were cut as with a very big and strong knife and all their blod drunk.The bodies were mutilated.
I dont know if that was really that way. I never saw any of them, but newspapers have told about that. They also talked about the chupacabras mytho.
may be some butcher was needing some parts of that cows and made them like that.
I dont believe about witches............but that they exist.......exist !!!!!!

Answer 7

Latin superstitious nonsense. Not one scrap of TRUE evidence has ever fallen into the hands of science - because Chupacabra does not exist! Not a hair, a bone, blood, DNA, photographs, nothing - as you would expect from a myth.

Answer 8

Maybe a genetically changed creature that has escaped from US control?

Answer 9

No more than the Jersey Devil and Lock ness sea monster, but you bet your a_s, BigFoot is real.

Answer 10

I've read stories on this creature! I don't know if I believe all I read, but there is no smoke without fire.
