This article is some kind of satire or a stunt by Animal Planet which the reporter is treating as fact. The "Chupacabra" is a "cryptic", i.e. legendary but scientifically uncaptured or proven to exist animal. The usual descriptions are, aside from the goat and chicken desanguination, a perfect Medieval image of a demon from Hell:

"... a reptile-like being, appearing to have leathery or scaly greenish-gray skin and sharp spines or quills running down its back. This form stands approximately 3 to 4 feet (1 to 1.2 m) high, and stands and hops in a similar fashion to a kangaroo. In at least one sighting, the creature was reported to hop 20 feet (6 m). This variety is said to have a dog or panther-like nose and face, a forked tongue, and large fangs. It is said to hiss and screech when alarmed, as well as leave behind a sulfuric stench. When it screeches, some reports assert that the chupacabras' eyes glow an unusual red which gives the witnesses nausea."

We really need a "coast to coast am" ping here

My favorite crypto is the well-known but infrequently sighted Land Shark.

They take people all the time, and the folks are never seen again - except as little balls of black goo on the forest floor.
