But Who Will Save the Unicorns?!

In light of the fact that a Canadian MP has introduced legislation that would put Bigfoot on the endangered species list, I have to ask why he’s ignoring the very real threat to the survival of other species once thought mythical, but now should, and could be considered simply so endangered, no one ever sees them.

Of course the first animal that leaps to most people’s minds is the Unicorn, because it was such a majestic animal when it roamed the plains unfettered. Deforestation, as well as an exploding population has sent this animal’s once abundant numbers into a steady dive, to the point where almost no one has reported seeing one in the wild in decades, if not centuries.

But that isn’t the only animal we can fight to help save. If we can get Mexico to join this battle, perhaps the Chupacabra’s numbers can make a comeback. Numerous movies have been made in order to keep the “legend” of this animal alive, but you cannot debate that if more people were made aware of the real plight of this creature many would do their best to help it thrive again.

What about the Phoenix? Many people are under the impression that since the animal is virtually immortal that it would be hard to put on an endangered species list, but ask yourself, how many of these magnificent birds have you seen? Clearly there’s a problem raising the population’s numbers.

I could go on for pages, but I digress. I hope that MP Mike Lake will continue this fight to get Bigfoot on the list, next to the Whooping Crane, and the Blue Whale. I hope he wins that fight, and then begins again. For as Mr. Lake said

“The debate over their existence is moot in the circumstance of their tenuous hold on merely existing.”

Truer words have never been spoken Mr. Lake! Fight on!
