I agree with you. How can Montauk be "proud" of their monster which is either a hoax or some animal that died an excruciating death. If it had once been a living creature-
Hear our humble prayer, O God,
for our friends ****,
especially for animals who are suffering;
for animals that are overworked,
underfed and cruelly treated;
for all wistful creatures in captivity
that beat their wings against bars;
for any that are hunted or lost or deserted
or frightened or hungry;
for all that must be put death.
We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity,
and for those who deal with them
we ask a heart of compassion
and gentle hands and kindly words.
Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals,
and so to share the blessings of the merciful.
Author - Albert Schweitzer

From the photos, http://www.specialreport.com have concluded that the montauk creature cannot be a raccoon because the legs appear to be too long in proportion to the body, a sea turtle because Sea turtles do not have teeth, a rodent because Rodents have two huge, curved incisor teeth in front of their mouths, a dog or other canine because the prominent eye ridge and the feet don’t match. Maybe it is a wild boar?
