I agree with WmRoy as I do not believe that most people who are hunting BF is looking for a payday.
I am one of the ones that thinks a body is the only thing that will prove that they are real. I have no problem with someone hunting BF as long as they are doing it for that reason. Sure if they can make a little $$$ off of it thats ok with me but their main reason should be to prove it is real.
I have always said this,
If I ever do get lucky enough to be the one that finds or shoots a BF this is what I will do.
First get a good lawyer :-) That is to protect myself from the body being taken from me.
Then call every press I can think of and have them come on over for pictures.
After that I will donate the body to the best scientist I can find on the subject as long as it is available for others to study as well.
Now if someone handles it that way and then makes money with a book and going on talk shows and all I say go for it. If they try to make money off of the body then in my eyes they are no better then any poacher out there.
I hope that when a body is found or killed then some real laws can be made to protect them. I just do not think it will ever happen without that first body. After that I think no others should be harmed.
They have film, DNA, Hair, feces, foot prints, Hand prints even a body print if you believe some and that stuff has not proved anything to most people.
Most people will not believe in anything they can not see yet they believe in other things just because someone says it is true.
You know I always say this to people, If it was taken to a court of law to decide if Bigfoot is real or not more then enough evidence has already been found to prove it is real. Many people have been put to death or given life in jail on much less evidence then they have that Bigfoot is real.
