| ROXAS CITY – Residents of Barangay Lawaan here are puzzled over the death of two goats. The goats’ blood were sucked and their intestines eaten. Goat owner Engr. Joel Jumbas could not ascertain what killed his goats on September 18. Someone told him the manner of killing is suggestive of Chupacabra. Jumbas raises goats within Provincial Engineer’s Office compound in Brgy. Lawaan here. The following night, he put two other goats as baits but nothing happened. Search engine wikepedia.org says 'Chupacabra' means 'the goatsucker' in Spanish. It is named as such because of the way it sucked blood from Puerto Rican goats.
It was first spotted in Puerto Rico in 1994 and, has since, migrated off the island. The species was recently spotted in many areas including South America and the US.
Although it was named for its choice of goat blood, the Chupacabra has reportedly attacked and sipped the blood of a wide variety of animals including dogs and sheep.
Wikepedia added there have yet to be any human fatalities.
Due to its distinct technique of killing its prey, it is very easy to tell if the Chupacabra was involved in an animal’s death. Animals are found with puncture wounds on their neck and most of their blood sucked. Often, the victims’ organs disappear even though the only wound is a small hole in the animals’ neck.
Reports of the laser-like cuts on the victim’s ears are also common. Although the same people say they have been the Chupacabra’s tracks, in many cases, there are no signs of blood or tracks around the dead animals Wikipedia added.
