But once discovery happens I would be for the most rigid protection for the species. Harming one would be a hanging offense in my book. Yes, protecting the bigfoot species in national forest is a 'must do' but when we look at how many acres bigfoot inhabits, effective protection could start the civil war over again between environmentalist and industrialist. How do we protect a rare primate species that probably lives and hunts in every remote forest with roads or no roads throughout the United States? 193 million acres of grazing land and forest is managed by the forest service, and 58 million acres is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and bigfoot probably has lived and hunted is many of those acres. Once bigfoot becomes a proven species, adequate protection may include fewer hunting permits and drastically reduced logging will be the fuse to dynamite that starts a new civil war. Do you remember the problems caused by the Spotted Owl? Will the industrialist win out and continue to rule over bigfoot's habitat? Once a live or dead bigfoot is brought in and recognized as a new species, this environmental conflict will probably start. The Forest Service and BLM won't be defining bigfoot as a mythical creature anymore and then what happens? Edited 4 hours ago by georgerm
