I wonder if beer was involved?
"Here, Paulio, hold muh beer."
If the villagers were left to their own devices they would still be being eaten by it. The child that is supposedly the motivation for the ‘villagers’ to capture it was killed in 2008.
“Ronnie Sumiller,” actually captured it. Most of the articles I’ve seen about this story lie and say the “villagers,” sometimes led by the mayor, did it.
Its like writing an article about the Moon trip...and saying that the citizens of Cape Canaveral went to the Moon, with no mention of NASA or the astronauts.
