Bald "chupacabra" squirrels, raccoons, foxes and coyotes. Mary Cummins, Animal Advocates

UPDATE: The finders of the bald raccoon have decided to send the body for taxidermy. They will stuff him and put him on their mantle. Crazy people.

I'm sure you've all heard about the story of the "chupacabra" found in Texas. It is obviously a raccoon with either manage or genetic permanent lack of fur. We here at Animal Advocates frequently get in bald animals such as coyotes, foxes, bobcats, squirrels, opossums and raccoons. All of the bald animals we've taken in were treated, grew back their fur and were released.

Recently I wrote an article about wildlife with manage with photos here.

Here is a video I took of a coyote with mange. He's not a chupacabra. This is in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California.

Here is a photo of a raccoon with no fur. It's a raccoon.

"Jackie Stock, the woman who found the animal which resembles a raccoon with mange tells TMZ ... she was advised to euthanize the animal because it was suffering.

Stock said after video of the creature went wide Thursday ... PETA started sending her and her husband messages, saying they were upset by the fact that the animal was in captivity and not receiving proper treatment.

She was also told if the animal really was a Chupacabra, it would have sucked the blood out of the goats next door before its capture. Stock was advised it was most likely a raccoon with mange that was in pain.

Stock adds the animal was never examined or tested to specifically identify it.

She took it to the shelter and was told "it went to sleep very peacefully," adding, "I had gotten attached. I was calling him Chupie. He will be missed."

Legally she had to turn the animal over to a wildlife rehabilitator within 48 hours. She didn't. She wanted to keep it as a pet. She said someone told her the animals was suffering in pain because of lack of fur. The only suffering it experienced was being kept in a tiny trap. You can't keep an animal in a trap over 24 hours. She says she took it to the animal shelter and they euthanized it. It's hard to believe her story.

If you find a bald wild animal, take it to a wildlife rehabilitator.
