The creature turns its attention to humans once it gets the chance. However, Jean Jacket isn't actually abducting them - the UFO is a living creature that's eating the horses.
Aliens Steal Cattle: The UFO has been abducting the Haywood Ranch's horses, aided by Jupe using them as bait for it during the Star Lasso Experience. OJ suggests that it may have settled in Agua Dulce because Jupe was feeding it, making it Justified. Since Jean Jacket is a wild animal, it likely did not "choose" this area for any particular reason beyond it having enough food and being far away from anything likely to harm it. Aliens in Cardiff: The UFO targets a ranch in a small inland town nestled in the California desert. Subverted, as Jean Jacket is simply eating anything unfortunate enough to be in its path. Alien Abduction: The UFO starts with horses, and moves on to people. The entertainment industry is an exploitative business that grinds people up and only cares about their pain insofar as it can be made into a spectacle for profit. Those who don't learn from the past are often doomed to repeat it. Learn to let go of the past and try to find a way to move forward from it, rather than dwell on it or try to make a profit from it. At the same time, never anthropomorphize animals when you are working with them misinterpreting animal behavior by attaching human emotions, motives, or morality to it can have fatal repercussions. Training animals for entertainment is not a good life for them, as they still have instinctual behaviors that can't be tamed, no matter how much space or how many resources they have access to. Attempting to make entertainment out of something dangerous will likely not go as planned, and always has the chance of ending in tragedy. Don't ever be naïve enough to assume that you have a wild animal fully trained and under control, or that it won't interpret things that are benign to humans as threats to itself and react accordingly. Doing so gets Jupe, his family, and everyone in the audience eaten. Admiring the Abomination: The Star Lasso Experience at Jupiter's Claim encourages audiences to look at the flying saucer.
He also took the titular role of Kong in Kong: Skull Island, an ironic connection, since the original King Kong is the story of a large animal being exploited for entertainment, only to turn violently on his exploiters. "Gordy" (or rather "one of the chimps playing Gordy") is his first role as a violent, wild chimpanzee - in Dawn of and War for the Planet of the Apes, he played the peaceable Rocket, an ally of Andy Serkis' Caesar. Terry Notary, who plays "Gordy", is a well-known motion capture performer particularly renowned for portraying apes.Fynn, the director of the greenscreened commercial booked by OJ, Emerald, and Lucky, is played by Osgood Perkins, director of "You Might Also Like", the season finale of Jordan Peele's revival of The Twilight Zone.The intro for "Gordy's Home" released as promotional material is as stereotypically 90's as possible.However, these events and the cover's publication date are from 1997, when the incident is shown to have occurred in 1998. In Jupe's exhibit dedicated to the Gordy's Home incident, there is a cover ◊ of MAD Magazine which also mentions Dante's Peak and the Heaven's Gate mass suicide.'90s pop cultural nostalgia comes up a lot in the dialogue, too. Gordy's attack on his human co-stars occurred in 1998, and was apparently the subject of a fictional Saturday Night Live sketch starring Chris Kattan.
