The truth about Chupacabra

The blood of goats (and cattle in general), the name derived from Spanish is Chupacabra. Chupacabra demons have long been a legendary animal, but have been growing in some countries for a while. Is it a real bloody beast or is it a paranoid product due to obsession with a horror movie in the mid-1990s?

Radford, editor of the Skeptical Inquirer , has a book in the United States, titled Tracking the Chupacabra: The Vampire Beast in Fact, Fiction and Folklore. In the book, Radford asserts that Chupacabra is just an urban legend , and then becomes very popular in the world through the internet.

The author argues that the woman, named Madelyne Tolentino from Canovanas, Puerto Rico, was impressed by the horror film The Species ( "Species" ) was widely screened in 1995, including a beast . With a paranoid mind, she told the story to a local newspaper. In 1996, she was invited to Univision TV's 'Popular talk' program, broadcast in Spanish for the US and Latin American countries. After Tolentino appeared on TV, the images of Chupacabra were known throughout America.

Tolentino described the beast 1.2 - 1.5 meters tall, red eyes like alien eyes, long claws and sharp spikes on his back. According to Radford, the description is unreliable, from the number of toes to the genitals. Overall it is very similar to the monsters in the movie above.

Radford spent many years in his life studying Chupacabra phenomenon. He surveyed in Puerto Rico and Nicaragua, met and interviewed witnesses. When he met Madelyne Tolentino, she herself admitted that she had seen the movie "Species" just two weeks before seeing the beast.

Radford, a psychologist, after analyzing Madelyne's expression, concluded that the woman had unconsciously influenced the elements of the monster in the film when describing the animal in Legend has existed since ancient times. Many people are obsessed with the legends of vampire-bat vampire, ready to believe her story.

But José "Chemo" Soto Rivera, mayor of Canovanas, where rumors originated, one of the organizers for the expedition to hunt down the beast rejected Radfford's hypothesis. Mr. Tolentino saw the animal after it killed a parrot. Perhaps Madelyne made a mistake in describing the animal, but there were many others who saw it, even shooting down the Chupacabra. The mayor believed that Chupacabra really existed and added, he would "not bother " reading Radford's book.

But the one who gives Chupacabra is a fabrication that is probably not enough scientific evidence to prove its existence. They definitely do not believe when there is no most evidence of the animal's DNA .

According to Radfford: "In the middle of the first century of the 21st century, all myths were referred to as 'Chupacabra' like the meadow wolf, the bizarre American panda, and the others. The dead fish died in Mexico, there was nothing to do with Chupacabra. "

To be recognized as a species, there must be at least 200 individuals.'If each of these beasts was as big as Madelyne described, there is no lack of evidence of the existence of the Chupacabra on the island so small and so populous as Puerto Rico,' Radford thought.

The mysterious animal was first mentioned in Puerto Rico. The animals that were bitten to death, assumed by the perpetrator, Chupacabra, had wounds that were a deep hole plugged into the neck artery, demonstrating their way of killing animals was sucking blood.

Since the 'victim' is mostly a goat, the beast is called Chupacabra , which means 'Goat Devil' . The first attacks occurred in March 1995 in Puerto Rico. During this attack, eight goats were all killed, each with 3 deep wounds on the chest and being sucked from the heart.

While Madelyne Tolentino described the animal that looked like a kangaroo , other witnesses told them that they looked like a rabbit, a dog, and even a giant bat. In the two years 1995-1996, up to 200 survey teams and hunting teams arrived in Puerto Rico to capture the beast but completely failed.

The UFOs learned that Chupacabra could be an alien creature without human form or pets that aliens carry, escaping from a spaceship when landing on Earth. . But others say the beast came from a genetic mutation because Puerto Rico was used by the US to test radioactive weapons.

While people still talk about them vigorously but have not finished yet, they continue to rage. At least 19 sheep were found at the Las Compras farm in Argentina. A man living next to the farm (also a dead sheep) told her that she saw dogs chasing sheep running around.
