MP wants Bigfoot protected

When we first saw this headline, we really hoped it was a British MP. Unfortunately, this story come from Canada, where a Member of the country’s Parliament wants Bigfoot to be protected as an endangered species. Mike Lake wants the legendary hairy man-like beast, also known as Sasquatch, protected under Canada’s Species at Risk Act, reports the Vancouver Province.

A petition to the Canadian House of Commons, signed by almost 500 of his constituents in Edmonton, Alberta, asks the government “to establish immediate, comprehensive legislation to effect immediate protection of Bigfoot.” Bigfoot researcher Todd Standing, who was behind the petition, claims to have proof of the sasquatch’s existence and says he fears for its safety.
