- **Animal remains were a horrifying spectacle***
-
- A family in Collipulli is going through hard times after
having discovered remains of twelve hens kept locked in a henhouse beside
their home.
-
- "This looks abnormal," said Orlando Coronado,
still profoundly disturbed by the macabre spectacle that revealed itself
before his eyes in the early hours of yesterday morning, and which affected
his household located at Agromedo 807 in this city.
-
- "I don't undestand what happened. I opened the chicken
coop like I do every day to feed my birds, and I'm faced with this. All
of the hens were dead. Some were headless, others were missing their legs
and the strangest thing is that there wasn't a drop of blood. I really
don't understand how they were slain, or exactly what happened."
-
- There are two fierce dogs in the Coronado backyard, but
neither of them barked. As for himself and his family, they heard nothing,
in spite of the fact that the master bedroom isn't very far from the henhouse.
"We heard no sounds at all, nothing."
-
- "I keep my hens under lock and key every evening,
so there's no explanation. We don't know what happened and we don't understand
it," he said, showing the dozen or so dead and exsanguinated birds.
-
- The event caused a stir among Collipulli's inhabitants.
Word spread immediately that a "Chupacabras" attack had taken
place, attributing the event to the legendary contemporary character to
whom hundreds of similar attacks throughout Latin America have been blamed.
-
- A less sensational explanation involves a mink, a foreign
species that has caused serious losses to residents of the Aysen region
after having been introduced there a few years ago.
