We get a couple of these every summer, mostly dogs or foxes. Usually, if they are still alive, they are euthanized as soon as they are rounded up. The only good thing about mange is the laughs we get at the silly stories that get told by paniced ignoramouses, and passed along by the easily impressed.

Make sure you wear gloves, mange can be transferred to pets by touch and some strains are harmful to humans and bigfeet.

Mange certainly has some strange metamorphic effects: It can turn bears into bigfoots, and coyotes into chupacabras.

Oh ye of little faith! Don't believe the lies told by the infidel! Any "evidence" to the contrary was put there by God to deceive the believers.

Until I read this article I did not realize that I have seen with my own eyes many different species of chupacabra. I have managed to get a completely authentic photograph of a chupacabra.

Yes, look and be amazed.



If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know.
