If there is one thing I canât stand, it is government overregulation of cryptozoological creatures. There are actually several things I canât stand â someone putting an empty steak sauce bottle back in the refrigerator, irresponsible dog owners and people with Facebook medical degrees, just to name a few. This week, though, it is government overregulation of cryptozoological creatures, specifically Bigfoot. Regular readers of this column know I am a citizen of the city that proudly hosts the annual Western North Carolina (WNC) Bigfoot Festival during non-plague years. Those same readers may even recall I performed as Bigfootâs stand-in a few times, climbing into the suit for both promotional and educational efforts, such as the non-award-winning documentary âBigfoot Tells Fifth-Graders about Trees.â
