I find it really interesting though that so many hunters have come across these things and did not shoot. I don't know if they're in a state of utter shock, fear, or if the creature can indeed affect us. I know the Native Americans have sworn they affect their thinking.
The idea that they are an, albeit primitive looking creature, I still would not like to deprive young ones of a parent, or kill a thinking creature. Very hard to settle the ethics as we don't know how intelligent they are. Certainly they are survivors and clever enough to stay the heck away from us as we are most definitely quite violent. No doubt they've figured that out.
