My “crowbar award” submission
I don’t know who it is who came up with the “Crowbar Award” (for the most gratuitous mention of narcotics-gangsters in a story from Mexico), but here’s my baaaaaaaad entry:
El Heraldo de Chihuahua (via Inexplicata) reports that over the last two weeks of February, there was a series of attacks in Estación de Terrazas, Chihuahua, by an “unknown assailant” who drained the blood from 36 sheep and wounded several others. Ana Luisa Cid notes that there was a similar attack on sheep near Tapachula, Chiapas, near the Guatemalan border, also in late February.
Earlier this week, El Debate reported from Los Mochis, Sinaloa, that two sheep were found hanged at the side of the Mochis-Topolabampo highway with a “threatening message” left at the scene.
The trail of dead sheep from the Guatemalan border, to Sinaloa to Chihuahua (a state bordering Texas) leads to only one conclusion: chupacabras are working with the drug cartels to smuggle Muslim terrorists into the United States to sap American sheep of their precious bodily fluids.
