Should be declared an endangered specie, fist because of the rash of people dressing up to get tourists to come to some areas and maybe scare pople, so shooting them when you could be shooting a person carrying out a spoof is not reasonable and two I believe they exist and are an endangered specie deserving protection, the whim of a hunter to prove the existence of a humanoid that very well have sufficient human qualities to conform to being human but hairy is enough that they should not be shot unless they are charging a hunter and they are in fear of their life. According to what has been said if the bigfoot there are indicators they are a human predecessor, would it be legal to shoot a cro magnon man, a neanderthal man or Hypertrichosis man (also called Ambras syndrome) is an abnormal amount of hair growth over the body. So when we hear of such efforts to shot them with a gun and not a camera you should save this post and repost it wherever the bigfoot or sasquash is reported or we may be losing a hairy costumed publicity stunt guy desperate for tourists or just a hairy guy
