But what is this??

He doesnt know what is is nor do I.

Personal Opinion: [color=C4FFC4]Starting a thread based only off of another thread from a different forum, is the epitome of 'Ignorance Embraced'.

It is the polar opposite of denial.

Then to add a bit more ignorance into the equation, you give no personal opinion whatsoever. Weak.

Sorry to hear that, but it was shot by the owner of the property.
Unless it is on the endangered list, or is out of season, seems to me he had full rights to do so.

Having full rights to do so, does not necessarily mean that it needed to occur.

What was the reason for 'shoot first, ask second'?

This site has a photo that looks exactly like the OPs.

The site is about the "Chupacabra", however I believe this particular creature was identified :

In July 2010, an animal was killed and reported to be a chupacabra, but found to be a coyote with a severe parasite infection. In October of that year, University of Michigan scientists theorised that parasite-riddled coyotoes (specifically the parasites responsible for scabies and mange) were likely the basis for the chupacabra legend

It's a coon (raccoon) with a bad case of the mange, a condition that seldom happens to healthy coons.

Because he is the owner of the property (a piece of land, I suppose), and an, for him, unidentifiable (living and unbound to any land!) creature crosses that 'property', he has the *RIGHT* to shoot it? It's beyond me you're actually justifying that, again: as if it a natural thing to do... being on a fringe-website that 'denies ignorance'. You know; ignorance and denial about 'us-and-them' thinking, misanthropy, violence, oppression, distribution of wealth, food, land etc.

"This is MY piece of land, so I have the RIGHT to shoot every strange being crossing it."
Geez, don't even know where to start.

Anyway, don't know where the heck this happened but to me, it is metaphorical or rather: an analogy of greedy, possessive, megalomanic thinking in general. I bet the shooter feels he has the *right* to beat foreigners in his local café that look different, rape women when they give him a friendly smile (hence: asking for it) and beat *HIS* wife when she isn't obedient.

Just because you can, doesn't make it *RIGHT*...
To me it is more than a cultural difference bound to a certain place/space.

but I suppose this will not come through - I'll make sure I'll never come near the place: the guy will probably shoot me. Your reply, again, angers me beyond believe. This is how ignorance starts, and is acted out in one's own home/back yard.

You can't own the land. What a silly notion. The land owns us, in every respect. All you can do is bully with gangs and guns.

I think it's a dog with mange.

Not sure, but I'd say that's what it is.

A shame it was shot dead, could have been a very rare animal indeed. Last of its kind who knows. Just dead now though.

I think these creatures were in, The Princess Bride.

Looks like a thirty pound rat.

Hairless Raccoon - here's one very similar to yours: cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com.au...

It would be nice to have a face shot, and the teeth ie. herbavore or carnivore?

So I am assuming that you don't have a home or a place to live? I know the land will be here long after were gone but I am allowed to own property and pass it down to my family. How is that not owning the land?

I think the biologist needs a new job! That's no raccoon and neither is the original image. The feet are all wrong (speaking from experience of owning a pet raccoon).

The badger with mange is my guess.

Who ever shot the creature is a sad ****.

At first I thought you were sarcastic. But even if that was the case, I'm not sure who you are referring to by your use of 'you' and am doubting you've read my post well, if at all. Which was, by the way, a reply to Smirkey's reply on my earlier vented disgust.

Reading is a skill, commenting on a post without reading is just, well... silly.

ITS A BADGER! LOOK UP BADGER, you shot a badger, most likely a honey badger

Mutant more likely. They don't survive long out in the open due to lack of survival skills.

Looks like a giant rat to me. But what do I know lol.

Definitely looks like a possum face, which, ironically, was my nickname in high school.

Think ive seen the same picture or something similar some place...
Recall it being a hairless racoon, some kinda disease.
