... I see it like this .. their behavior says "people", not "dumb animal." Dumb animals don't have curiosity or humor, they don't show respect or restraint. I've seen all of those. To me it says they are some kind of people, regardless of the biological differences. More "human" than some of our monsters like Charles Manson or Ted Bundy.
...
So far so good? Then lets put it together:
Since I see bigfoot as a kind of people, I see killing one, unprovoked, other than in self defense, as MURDER.
I will act to stop a murder up to, and including, taking the murderer's life myself.
I'm not trying to convert anyone. Just stating where I stand, and why.

So you've witnessed this in Jane Goodall fashion, but never seen dogs show curiosity, restraint, respect, or maybe by some stretch, humor? Hm.
Well, anyway, good luck explaining to the judge why you shot another hunter with: "He was going go shoot Bigfoot!"
And, hey, I'd love for us to discover Bigfoot - just not holding my breath.
