This quote shows there is similar traits between Hollywood’s Chupacabra and the real one that people describe it as, meaning maybe they just think they saw it. Because of this, the people have been influenced by it, showing the Chupacabra may not exist, but that still doesn’t explain all the dead animals. Also, it's possible the animals were killed by something else, but the Chupacabra sucks all the blood out of its prey, making it very clear it's only of the only animals capable of this.
