Title: Please Put Bigfoot on the Endangered Species List

Field&Stream.com has many readers, and naturally the editors get a lot of mail. Some of it offers praise or suggestions. Some of it offers criticism and anger. And sometimes - every once in a great while - some of it broaches subjects and asks questions so profound we feel compelled to share with readers. Such is the case with this letter (portions of which are published below) from one Odie Ellis.

Mr Ellis, it seems, wants the federal government to list Bigfoot under the Endangered Species Act. No, really.

Why Bigfoot should be placed on the Endangered Species List:

This is a very important matter indeed which needs addressing, and your help would be greatly appreciated. I am drafting this letter in an effort to garner your support on a topic to which I beseech to you would be a monumental issue indeed. I implore you to not take this matter lightly, it is one that will set an example for years to come and will undeniably set the standard on how all species will make their way to this most sacred of documents pertaining to the continuity of any genus.  ...

Why hasn't anyone ever tested all the foot casts that exist for DNA?  You'd think there might be a chance some got picked up by the plaster.

Bigfoot is not in danger, I repeat, bigfoot is not in danger at this time. He is back there in his room learning to play the get-tar...now if he screws up...I'm all over his ass.

Bigfoot has evaded humans for years.

I disagree that the Endangered Species List is a "most sacred of documents".

Since there isn't a single case I can think of where a Bigfoot was successfully hunted and killed by a hunter, I don't think there's any need to place it on the endangered species list.  Now, if we all of a sudden see a run on Bigfeet (hehe) then perhaps Congress should take up the matter.

Until such time, Bigfoot is nothing more than fodder for badly produced television shows about unexplained creatures and events.

If they were real, sooner or later one would have been hit by a truck.

I watched a show on Discovery once where they laid out a horse or something carcass and in several days you would never know it had been there. The wildlife and the bugs eat it right up.

Pffft. don't need a carcass to prove macro evolution, why need it to prove a bigfoot?
