cattle mutilation
The locals are worried and afraid that the strange being will attack other cows or children
Whenever Cristian Ríos's cows (45) went out to graze, they always returned to the corral; however, one of them never returned.

The owner, who has his cattle ranch in the Cerro Polilla company of Villarrica, Guairá Department, waited for her for three days. He was surprised.

He thought it was nearby, but around 11:00 a.m. last Saturday, he went out looking for his animal: he found it, but dead. The crows and dogs refused to eat the meat, and apparently the cattle had been attacked by the chupacabra.

Locals find no other explanation

It had no eyes, tongues, or blood, and for the locals it was something very strange because this type of thing rarely happens in other inland towns. However, this time the incident affected other ranchers from nearby companies, such as those in the Tororõ area, also in Villarrica, four kilometers from Cristian's farm, where four cows died in March alone.

Cristian told EXTRA that one of them was found with a huge hole in its back, others also had no tongue, but the most disturbing thing was finding a live heifer without ears. The animal died days later.

"It could be Pyta Jovái, Chupacabras, Malavisión, or the evil spirit, but in the end, no one can give an explanation; we don't know," the man said. Ríos said he didn't believe in these paranormal things, but now he does, because it's the first time it's happened to him, according to the victim.

Divine help against evil

They seek protection to ward off other attacks. Cristian told EXTRA that many of his neighbors have their own beliefs and know different ways to protect themselves from the chupacabra. However, in his case, he will seek divine protection.

"I'm going to try to get a priest to bless me, to pour holy water over the stake. I also want to bring pindo karai and put it in various places, because there's a rumor going around that it has to be done," the rancher said.

The victim stated that he has no choice because he no longer knows what to do to prevent other cows from being attacked; for this reason, he will also install solar cameras.

Ríos reported the incident to the police station, but was told there was no robbery or cattle rustling. "Because the cow died on my land, and that doesn't mean anything. They say they can't interfere because the cattle didn't go outside," he said.
