Strange animal captured!

Here in the USA, specifically in Texas and a few other places--I think Maryland--such poor creatures (coyotes and perhaps foxes) have been captured or shot dead, or bodies found. They need to be put out of their misery, humanely euthanized or at least shot dead from as close a range as possible.
Yeah, there's been a big flap that they're Chupacabras, too! In America, every bleeding animal that's not immediately identifiable is a Chupa, a wastebasket diagnosis if ever there was one. Fools get all excited--or maybe it's just the media desperately seeking tabloid trash, I don't know. But the pitiful creature in the photo is definitely some kind of canid suffering horribly with end-stage sarcoptic mange. Since there are no coyotes in China (AFA I know, anyway), it could be some kind of dog or whatever wild canids they have over there.
But great balls of fire! I can't believe this particular little fantasy of a supposed cryptid of unknown etiology, or another egg-sucking Chupa, is still floating around the Internet. Those promoters of such fool business need to get a life.
