Honduras: 42 Mutilated Sheep in Comayagua

“Chupacabras” blamed for 42 deaths; residents are astonished.

Reports on dead animals showing incisions on their necks are emerging from Comayagua in central Honduras. SENASA authorities look into animal killings on a property belonging to congressman Valentin Suárez.

Rumors about the Chupacabras have gained strength as a result of the death of a large number of sheep on a property belonging to a political representative of that province. Yesterday, at 5:00 a.m., when workers arrived at the property, they found dozens of dead sheep with injuries to their necks. Others had bled to death. Nearly 42 animals were lifeless and another 10 injured. The possibility that the death toll would increase over time was not dismissed.
