My cousins tell me that it could be a creature called Chupacabra, who in the south for years attacked a person leaving them bad. It scared me and we put lights with solar panels to illuminate the pens and scare this animal away," said Juan Choque, a farmer in the area, Daily Star reports.
In the meantime, a section of conspiracy theorists has started claiming that aliens from deep space could be killing cattle.
