I always read about sightings of the Chupacabra with interest, since Mythology is one of the courses I teach. This latest story from Kentucky is particularly interesting, because the man who discovered the animal shot it. The comments following the news story have some debate about whether he should have shot the animal, but I generally feel he did the right thing. If it’s a dog or other feral animal that was incredibly sick (the last suspected Chupacabra was a coyote with a bad infection from parasites), I think I would want the threat removed from my neighborhood. And of course, if it’s a previously undocumented species (I vote for calling it chupacabra!), then a specimen is captured for analysis. We’ll have to see what the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources says.
