Comments on: Killing Bigfoot OK in Texas – if he’s Texan

Is that the defining quality of a man? He carries a cell phone? All other beings are fair game?
I’ve no doubt that there are some people around who would consider the sport hunting of men, cell phone or not, quite acceptable. However, for the rest of us, I imagine pulling the trigger may be a little more problematic. But at what point would it be OK to pull the trigger with no compunction?

Imagine every step of the human evolutionary path (sorry Christians) was alive and kicking today, from amoeba to cell phone-carrying gent. Would we be happy to take pot shots at clothe wearing, tool using, shelter building hominids? Where do you draw the line?
Jus’ asking is all!

Is that 108000 gun toting Jews?

Suppose... yes. All animals are oddly shaped little men without cell phones. ob·serv·ant: 2. Adhering strictly to the rules of a particular religion, esp. Judaism. "By last count from a census of religions, there are about 108,000 adherents to Judaism in Texas." - texasalmanac.com.

At the risk of infuriating the religious community, but can’t all animals be considered men in different skins?

And yes, the Texans must definitely be more “observant”.

You sayin’ Texans is more observant?

Never met a person who could fool a hunter with a deer costume… Much less a raccoon or a duck suit… But I’m not gonna rule out some veteran who is just a living head dressing up that way for fun. Stranger things have happened in Texas.

Perhaps this is a good reason to stop all hunting. Can you really be sure the animal you’re hunting isn’t a man in a furry suit? Also, the high instance of Bigfoot sightings in Texas probably says more about the Texans than Bigfoot.
