The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are certain about one thing, even though they do not acknowledge that Bigfoot is real: It is just as unethical to kill a Sasquatch as it would be any other animal. In a report posted by the CBS Houston on Jan. 30, the animal rights activists reacted to the idea much as expected, because to members of their organization, shooting and killing a living creature, whether it be for food or sport, is an atrocity.
PETA spokesperson Lindsay Rajt told The Houston Chronicle: “As an organization we do oppose hunting of any kind. It’s cruel and unnecessary and can damage populations and ecosystems.”
Rajt spoke out against the shooting of the legendary Bigfoot creature in the wake of news that self-proclaimed "Master Tracker" Rick Dyer is going on the road to show of the Bigfoot he supposedly shot and killed outside San Antonio, Texas, in late 2012. Dyer says he will tour North America, carting the Sasquatch carcass from town to town to prove that Bigfoot does exist and that he actually killed one.
Dyer has already released several photos of the hairy beast he claims to have killed. Although many are putting it down as just another hoax, Dyer says it is his redemption (Dyer is most famous for having a hand in the 2008 Georgia Bigfoot Hoax) and has even challenged the Spike TV series "The 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty" to pay up.
“The bottom line is, when someone sees a rare, exotic animal their first instinct shouldn’t be to shoot and kill it,” Rajt said . “Just because you see something pretty, that doesn’t mean it should be mounted on your wall.”

The well known conservationist T.R. would no doubt differ with PETA ...
I gonna hold out and just wait for my opportunity to shoot a two-fer.
I plan to eat it.
How you gonna find out what it tastes like?
Wrong. Hunting is what keeps modern wildlife populations and ecosystems properly balanced.
PS, I wouldn't shoot a Bigfoot either, unless it was attacking me.
Can I shoot the Easter Bunny? What about unicorns? Are they off limits too?
Shoot them in the air and call them a UAV
Here's an Easter Bunny ... FIRE away!
lol
“What about unicorns?”
They’re in every liberal’s place. If they believed in this dipsh*t hopeychangey BS, then unicorns won’t be a stretch.
Bigfoot Hunters to PETA:
Do you have any idea how HARD it is to fake a LIVE Bigfoot?
ping
Sasquatch is an animal? I thought they were a species very much like Homo sapiens, except they were more attuned to their environment,
In fact, I had thought they had intermarried with some of the old hippie communes, and their children were up and coming community organizers.
I would not shoot a bigfoot just because I could. I would shoot it to p*ss off a liberal.
Don’t shoot, just take an out of focus grainy picture to add to the growing pile.
“cant grill it until you kill it”
Comeon! That bastard has been harassing my family and me for years. Ever since my first grainy picture, I've been trying to nail this SOB. I go after him on FreeRepublic and he hits Report Abuse. Next thing I know I've been suspended. Facebook? Forget about it. Twitter? I have had to apologize and resign my job. I will now slip into my Ghillies suit and wait. Your ass is mine and your steaks are my family's. When that blurry head turns around, I will be there.
North American bush meat.
Rich to Bill Clinton: You shouldn’t shoot beaver just because you can.
