Rough translation of article (sans irrelevant political comments and allusions):

This strange animal was found drinking water from one of the toilets of the Santo Domingo Autonomous University (UASD, its spanish acronym), around the Faculty of Economic Sciences; as soon as she saw it, the female janitor started screaming, and luckily some men went in with clubs and sticks and managed to kill the "strange thing"... Now, the question is, what IS that?
It's not strange seeing stray dogs within the UASD, but this is "something else". The beast has a dog-like face, a tail that looks like the one a cow would have, strange limbs that look like those of a fetus, shiny skin and other features that make it look like a very weird creature.
One can only ask themselves, how exactly is it possible for such a peculiar animal to go inside the campus, and not be noticed by any of the thousands of students that go in and out of the place on a daily basis? How did it get inside the Economic Sciences restrooms? Is it someone's alibi for something? Is it the results of some macabre experiment performed in the university laboratories? Is it a malformed fetus, aborted inside WC?
But please, for the love of God! Why did it have to be killed? Wouldn't it have been better to save the life of this strange animal? Where was it buried? Is it still feasible to do an autopsy on it? What if it is some new species for Natural Sciences to take account of? Did it escape from a circus or some private zoo? If this is a Photoshop trick, someone please prove it with facts. Whoever knows something, step forward and state it.
Biologists and veterinaries have the final word.

Personally, I am appalled at the fact that the ignorance in my country runs so deep that, whatever this thing looked like, the first thing people could think about when seeing this was about killing it. I guess it's true the saying that goes "humans fear what they don't understand, and they despise what they fear". An easy solution that would have kept it alive would have been to lock and isolate the restroom it was found at, but oh well, too late for that.
