Would you shoot a sasquatch?

Wouldn't shoot one nor would I even report having seen one. If they exist, I hope we never find them. Seems they're doing quite well without us humans fracking everything up for them. Best we can do is just leave 'em alone.

Cheers
 
Shoot a sasquatch? No way. These are aliens incognito. And unless you want the wrath of Uranus thrust upon you, best not harm one.
 
what if they travel in packs. You might get one but by the time you realise your surrounded by the rest of the pack and they have decided your on the menu who is going to know you shot one....

Oh and they wear body armour so you need your bear gun that can shoot into space, you know the one you keep handy for space bears. :)

Would that type of rifle have to have a chrome lined barrel?

For the sake of discussion, let's assume they exist, but in very small numbers.

I wouldn't shoot one. To me, it doesn't matter if they have the same intelligence as humans, sentient or if it's just the neighbors kid in a gorilla suit. I simply would not want to contribute to the extinction of one of the rarest species on earth.

Can’t believe I’m commenting on a Sasquatch thread, but in a hypothetical world where they exist, I would follow the same course and reasoning.

On a note based in reality, the Jaguar has just barely gained a foothold in and repopulated a tiny fraction of the US southwest. Maybe one to six individuals present. I read a thread a few years ago guys on the Mexico border in the states were already out actively hunting to kill the first Jaguar taken on US soil in a hundred years or more. As a hunter that makes makes me sick and represents the worst aspects of our species.

Pretend Sasquatch exist- same scenario, you’d be destroying of the few mysteries left in the world, not advancing science. Moot point as they sadly aren’t out there anyhow.
 
I asked my wife this question. She surprised me with her answer:
"I'm married to a sasquatch, and although you're big, hairy, never home and stink...No, I would never shoot you".

Hmmm

I believe one dead specimen proving its existence could do far more for the survival of the species than not shooting it and thus not proving its real ever would. For example, it can't be added to any endangered species lists until its proven to exist...

One person put it well - the first person to shoot a sasquatch should get a medal. The second should go to jail.
