In the interest of clarity, I have no qualms with those who want to put one down respectfully. I also understand that my hands-off approach is likely not the norm. I'm not a hunter and couldn't kill anything unless it attacked me. With that said, hunting is needed and hunters provide a valuable service to the continued existence of a species. I applaud them.
A sasquatch is special to me, as it likely is to all of us. I think they are very close to us genetically and also think they are near human. I could be way off the mark, only to find they are close to being an animal, but I doubt that's the case.
For those who hunt to bring one on the slab, in the furtherance of science, I only ask it be done respectfully. The thought of high fives and the "I'm-the-one-the-whole-world-will-want-to-speak-with" goal saddens me. It's either one of God's magnificent creatures, in very small numbers, or a cousin of ours. In either case, its death is to be mourned not celebrated.
