A couple of days ago, I introduced you to a weird-looking creature caught by a couple in Texas, US. As reported at that time, the couple who captured it were quite convinced that the peculiar animal was a living and breathing chupacabra.

Recent news on the topic says that the alleged legendary monster no longer lives with Jackie Stock and husband Bubba. Thus, TMZ informs that the couple was advised to put the animal out of its misery, and that they followed course.

By the looks of it, Jackie and Bubba took the animal to a shelter, and folks here euthanized it. Given the fact that the creature looked like it was in very poor shape and suffering, perhaps humanely putting it to sleep was indeed the right thing to do.

Talking to the press, Jackie Stock stressed that, “it went to sleep very peacefully.” “I had gotten attached. I was calling him Chupie. He will be missed,” the Texas resident went on to say. Husband Bubba, on the other hand, did not make any comments on the loss.

Since specialists did not get the chance to examine the animal or carry out tests to figure out which species it belonged to, it is still unclear whether or not Chupie was indeed a chupacabra. Many doubt that it was, and say that it was probably just a raccoon or some other animal suffering with mange.
