Chicken deaths blamed on 'El Chupacabras'

Typical of lame reporters and editors: It is either "el chupacabra" or "los chupacabras", but it cannot be "el (singular) chupacabras (plural)". That is like saying "chicken deaths blamed on a wolves".

That was my first thought...lazy gringo reporter. The Chupacabra always made camping in the Hill Country a lot more fun, although the real monster to fear was the raccoon.

So it should either be "Pippis Longstockings" or "Pippi Longstocking"?
