Someone has asked "what good would a law be" in protecting BF/SF ?
For starters, it would codify the repercussions for harassing/harming/killing one by formalizing the fact that "just in case they do actually exist" they are to be left alone.
However, the most profound result would be that someone going out with the intent to commit such a crime does so with malice and forethought (as the law's existence would make the arguement "can't get locked up for shooting something that doesn't exist" a moot point) plus be rather ironic should subsequent DNA testing reveal a homo____ classification was scientifically valid which would likely mean the carcass became the perpetrator's signed confession.
