- **Rosario de la Frontera--New Suprising Eyewtiness Testimony**
-
- **It was 10 meters away from people and was contained
by 30 dogs at the communal garbage dump**
-
- Patricio Salda-o, custodian of the municipal garbage
dump, and his family, had quite a fright on February 26: at 22:00 hours,
alerted by the barking of his 30 hounds, who ran furiously from one side
to the other in the vicinity of a pig pen, Lighting a flashlight, he went
out to investigate.
-
- "I couldn't believe it. Less than 10 meters away
was that strange hairy animal that people have reported, standing on two
legs. It was like an enormous monkey. It made no noise--it just looked
at me fixedly with his red eyes and every so often moved his powerful arms
to frighten my dogs, who were harrassing it but not attacking.
-
- "The beast, belonging to a species that I had never
seen in books, had nails as long as daggers, which shined in the light."
Patricio is 62 year old and has been in charge of the municipal dump for
15 years. He lives there with his wife, three male children, an eight year
old daughter and a four year old granddaughter.
-
- When the encounter occured, he was in the company of
his wife and the girls. "I didn't believe the story everyone's talking
about," he stated, referring to eyewitness claims about having been
attacked in Arroyo Salado, 6 km east of the town center.
-
- "But some days ago a man came around these parts
to ask me if I had seen a colt that he'd lost. Later I found out that it
was discovered hereabouts, dead and devoured. That's why when the dogs
barked, I thought about the pigs. And it dawned on me that it could be
an old puma. But there it was: quiet and looking at me intently. Suddenly,
it turned on a heel and began to walk away."
-
- "It was an animal, but it walked like a man."
Salda-o said that his wife and the two girls were also able to see the
creature from a distance. "I've told them not to go out at night or
wander away from the house."
