      WHY DO THE FEDS WANT BIGFOOT TO REMAIN UNDCOMENTED & MYTHICAL?

      By norseman · Posted

      Homicide right now in the courts means one Homo Sapien murdering another Homo Sapien.   There are zero court cases in which this has been extended to anything outside of our own species. Albeit they are trying currently….   https://www.nonhumanrights.org/blog/the-need-for-chimpanzee-rights/   So it remains to be seen,   A) Where Sasquatch would fall into biological classification.   B) And if it did fall into the genus Homo that is no guarantee under current laws that killing one would constitute Homicide. It’s not a Homo Sapien. We do not currently extend human rights to anything outside of our own species.   C) This could of course change in the future. If Chimpanzees are awarded Human rights? Certainly they would pertain to Sasquatch.

      By Huntster · Posted

      If it is classified as in the genus Homo, it would be *human*, so killing one would be *homicide*. But remember, more primitive bipedal apes (Australopithecus, Ardipithecus, Sahelanthropus, Oreopithecus, Danuvius, etc) lived at least several millions of years ago. The earliest homo species was 2.5 million years ago.     It is definitely homicide, but not necessarily murder. Murder is defined as an illegal and intentional homicide. Self defense is a legal justification for homicide.   But if a sasquatch decides to kill a man? It is almost certainly not possible to legally prosecute the sasquatch for murder if he is also a wild animal.

      There is no bygone conclusion that Bigfoot is legally a human. In fact I will say without a doubt it is not our species!   Homo Sapiens   But it may be classified in our genus.    Homo Sasquatchelis or whatever.   Is shooting something in your genus murder? We don't know. But shooting something in your Family is not? Despite some peoples best efforts? Great apes die at the hands of man even today. Despite laws to the contrary.   And if any of these men were tried? It was for poaching. Not murder.

      Get ready for outrageous scenarios. Maybe Homo erectus had a subbranch of big, brained creatures that we will call Homo sasquatchensis, and Sasquatch had a basic language that evolved into telepathy. They didn't use tools due to their fantastic speed, deception, and agility to catch deer and other animals for food. They developed a high degree of intelligence that they used to avoid Homo sapiens. Just a wild theory.   If bigfoot is an off shoot of Homo erectus then it would be illegal to shoot one. If Homo sasqatchensis kills a human, then specially trained Forest Service stalkers would determine which bigfoot is responsible for the murder, and they would bring it in to spend its remaining life in a zoo. Profits from zoo attendance would help train and pay for bigfoot stalkers. The others in the bigfoot clan would have small radio beacon earrings so they could be monitored, and they would live in and among clear cuts where they would hunt deer and other animals. The Forest Service would continue logging and timber sales as usual, and they would manage and train the bigfoot stalkers. A win win for the Forest Service, bigfoots, and the public.
