Is the legendary "goat sucker" stalking Hood County? Two strange, coyote-like creatures have been killed with in 10 miles of each other, and locals say the animals could be chupacabras. Hood County Animal Control Officer Frank Hackett killed the first creature last week. He found it in an old barn. When it growled at him, he put the animal down. "It was ugly, real ugly, I'm not going to tell no lie on that one," he said. A few days later, a rancher killed a similar creature. Jack Farr, who owns the property where the first coyote-canine-cross was spotted said he thinks more of the strange animals are out there. "I have heard of a chupacabra before, but I thought it was some sort of mythological thing," he said. But after seeing firsthand the creature killed on his property, he doesn't know what it was. Hood County Animal Control sent the animal to Texas A&M for testing. Until DNA tests are returned Doctors at Texas A&M would only say it's some kind of coyote hybrid...more
You see, there's nothing like sittin' under a windmill, eating some freshly grilled Chupacabra with plenty of home made salsa all over it.
To hell with the solar folks, the vets and the FDA.
That's my kind of West.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

You can have all that mangy, grilled chupacabra you want, thank you very much. I'll stick to a good, slow roasted jack-a-lope seasoned with fresh mint plucked from the base of my ever efficient Aermotor. Followed by a peaceful nap to the sound of that hypnotic, mechanical, wind driven metronome.
