Anybody who believes in mythical beasts is a hopeless fool.

Yes, the answers to this question demonstrate that Yahoo "News" is encouraging stupidity among Americans.
 
..."chupacabra" has been located in Texas? First of all, it's not true.

Secondly, it encourages people to believe in fantasy beasts. It's no different than reporting that Bigfoot or a vampire or an Easter Bunny has been located.

Thirdly, this kind of nonsense perpetuates cruelty to animals (last time Yahoo reported "videotape" of a chupacabra, it was actually a feral Spuds Mackenzie dog that had lost all of its fur thru mange).

Does Yahoo "news" exist top perpetuate stupidity or what?
 
First of all, Yahoo! News didn't report it, at least that I could find. Link please? All I could find were links to other news services.

Anyway, none of the articles I read claimed that such a creature existed, just that a Texas man claimed to have one. I think audiences are smart enough to know this, and it definitely doesn't encourage people to report on fantasy beasts.
 
Well, I did see the clip on Yahoo and even I could tell it was a dog or possibly a coyote...but some fantasy beast? Hardly.
I do realize though that to believe everything you see or hear on the internet at face value is foolish to say the least.
