The only law on the books against killing a Bigfoot is in Skamania County, Washington. There was a rash of sightings there in '69, and the usual monster hunters showed up-from bowhunters to guys with BARs. The Sheriff was afraid with all the guys with guns around, someone would get shot, so he asked the County Board of Supervisors (or however they do it in Washington-County Commissioners, or whatever) to pass an ordnance making it illegal to kill a Bigfoot. Penalty is up to 5 years in the County Jail and a $10,000 fine. There were attempts in the '70s in Oregon, California, and Washington to pass state laws protecting the beast, but all failed.
