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.

"'I kept thinking, 'Boy, I hope its mother isn't around,'' O'Shea said.

This might be a good time to pause for a chew of monster mash. I was skeptical -- and yes, photographers and graphic artists, I did get your e-mails disputing my shadow theory -- until O'Shea and Pampalone made me a believer.

Not in monsters, mind you.

But in the fact that the ocean, from time to time, coughs up some nasty stuff."

"CHUPACABRAS SPOTTED IN CHILE: ALIEN UFO ESCAPEES OR MYTH?

The Santiago Times - English Language Newspaper in Santiago, Chile - News in Chile and Latin America:

"CHUPACABRAS SPOTTED IN CHILE: ALIEN UFO ESCAPEES OR MYTH?

(February 16, 2007) One week after Chile’s Armed Forces released photos and videos of UFO activity around the country, Chile’s mainstream media has once again gone extraterrestrial with various Chupacabra sightings reported throughout the country.

Chupacabra – literally translated as goat sucker – is the name for a mythical creature known for sucking the blood out of farm animals throughout Latin America and the southern United States. Many enthusiasts speculate that Chupacabras are aliens – or escaped alien pets – as evidence of the creature is frequently reported in tandem with nearby UFO sightings.

While UFO activity is typically reserved for Chile’s tabloid press, Chupacabra sightings make big news in Chile, and the countries principle newspaper, El Mercurio, reported Wednesday that Chupacabras are once again causing a stir in the southern cone country."
