Big Foot: an Endangered Species?

Is Big Foot an endangered species? A Canadian member of parliament thought so – he tried to get Bigfoot protected under the Canadian version of the endangered species act:

… Mike Lake, a Canadian member of parliament from Edmonton, Alberta, agreed to introduce a petition that called for Bigfoot to be protected under the Canadian version of the endangered species act.

Lake presented to the House of Commons a petition that stated, “The debate over (Bigfoot’s) existence is moot in the circumstance of their tenuous hold on merely existing. Therefore, the petitioners request the House of Commons to establish immediate, comprehensive legislation to affect immediate protection of Bigfoot.”

Unfortunately, reality set in and Lake was forced to table the petition to prove that he wasn’t crazy.
