Maybe This Is Why Aliens Don't Land

I was going through the Interweb when I ran across this article.....

Dickson Co. man believes he killed a Chupacabra

WHITE BLUFF, Tenn.- A Dickson County man claims the creature he killed near his home over the weekend is not of this world, but from mythical folklore.
John Hunter says he noticed the odd-looking animal a couple of weeks ago when it showed up in the driveway of his White Bluff home.
He and his wife tried to get closer to get a better look, but the creature ran off.
Hunter said, "Then it came back, closer to the house. That's when it took off and came back again. Every time it came closer and closer, like it wasn't afraid of me."
Saturday, Hunter took his rifle and shot the animal.

Okay, here we may have why aliens DON'T land and talk to us.

"Hunter said, "Then it came back, closer to the house. That's when it took off and came back again. Every time it came closer and closer, like it wasn't afraid of me."Saturday, Hunter took his rifle and shot the animal."

Okay, the odd looking animal wasnt afraid of him, so what does he do?
BANG!

It's different, it's unusual...lets kill it!

Now if the creature was 700 pounds, flashing fangs and claws and ran at him, I think he would be justified in blowing it away.
But go to the article and look how "deadly" it looks.
Sorry..."looked".

BTW, the Tennessee Wildlife and Resources Agency believes the animal may be a red fox with sarcoptic mange.
Maybe he did the poor creature a favor.
Or MAYBE if it wasn't afraid of people, he could have called Animal Control and had it picked up.

We don't have to worry about the Government concealing strange things from us, given half a chance, we'll just kill 'em anyway.

UPDATE:
And as if that wasn't enough....

A Mystery Creature: New Montauk Monster spotted in Panama

A mystery creature reportedly beaten to death by a group of teenagers in Panama is the subject of much speculation on the web. The beast’s hairless, rubbery body and revolting features have drawn comparisons with the Montauk Monster, the still-unidentified animal photographed on a New York beach last year.
