- Six goats were found dead last night in Rancho El Cadillo
in the municipality of Juarez, state of Nuevo Leon (Mexico).
-
- The report came from Mr. Jesus Gel Gonzalez, the ranch's
owner, at 10:03 p.m. Thursday night, when he advised the municipal police
that six of his animals had been found dead from very strange wounds to
their bodies. Police officers and Dr. Oscar Sanchez, director of the department
of health for Juarez, reported to the scene and found the carcasses of
six goats presenting very deep wounds on their necks. The injuries appeared
to be bite of some predatory animal, although what most surprised the officials
was the fact that there wasn't a drop of blood to be found in any of the
bodies.
-
- The rancher stated having seen a creature standing 1.20
meters tall, grey in color and with a 4-meter wingspan, whom he suspects
it the culprit in the goat slayings. He added that this is not the first
time that animals have been killed in such a way on his property, and that
even some of his dogs have disappeared.
-
- Policemen reporting to the scene found some prints resembling
large, four-fingered claws, but were unable to determine the type of beast
they corresponded to. Dr. Sanchez said that these deaths are not normal,
given that a predator such as a puma or coyote would have ripped into the
goats' abdomen to feed on their organs. The creature responsible for the
goat deaths only sucked their blood, but what type of animal could have
caused this remains a mystery.
