OTTAWA (AFP) - Bigfoot, the legendary hairy man-like beast said to roam the wildernesses of North America, is not shy, merely so rare it risks extinction and should be protected as an endangered species.

So says Canadian MP Mike Lake who has called for Bigfoot to be protected under Canada's species at risk act, alongside Whooping Cranes, Blue Whales, and Red Mulberry trees.

Hmm.

So you won't be signing my petition to protect the native unicorns of Southern Tasmania?

I enjoyed the fact that there is finally a Bigfoot thread in the politics forum.

I now look forward to at least 50 pages on whether the Patterson film is legitimate and whether Bigfoot prints can be faked so well that "experts" can be fooled.

A matter of definition, isn't it? Does 'extinct' entail 'existed sometime in the past'?

How much you paying me?

Anti, pro, neutral.

He's a damn liberal! Deserves extinction, IMO.

Bigfoot has got to be pro gun control. After all, he doesn't hunt with guns and that's his home people bring their guns too.

I don't see bigfoot favoring abortion. Every Weekly World News I've ever seen that had a bigfoot love-child, the bigfoot wanted to keep the baby.

Middle East peace? Of course they favor that! They're the descendents of the lost civilization of Lemuria, and they've learned these important lessons.

I predict that 100 years from now, there will be no Bigfoots. (Or "Bigfeet"?) Since there aren't any now, this seems like a pretty safe prediction.

I predict that within 100 years people will have worked out how to manipulate man/bear/ape genes to create Bigfeet. Thanks to the pioneering work of Saint Mike Lake the Bigfeet will have ample forests preserved for their benefit.

Meanwhile, the Japanese will live off Pokemon sushi (except for the cyborgs of course) and will be ruled by the benevolent dictator known as Hello Kitty.

You wouldn't be saying that if you were the one close to extinction!

Big foot lives!...I saw some guys lately messing with him on a Beef jerky commercial.

 

[Grasshopper]

I think Bigfoot only risks extinction because too many people picked the spade of bigfoot card in a magician's show.

Since that's not a falsifiable statement, it's a meaningless one.

Where is your evidence that Bigfoot doesn't exist? Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack.

Personally, I think Bigfeet (Bigfoots? Bigfeets?) should be hunted to extinction so we won't have to worry about them carrying off our women, stealing our oil, and knocking over my trash can looking for food like they do every time I throw out some spoiled cottage cheese. What is it with Bigfoots and cottage cheese?

Plus, Bigfoots = Hitler (just to make sure this stays in Politics...).
