You've got that right, Powderman. It does seam silly to protect something that dosen't exist.....unless they know something we don't know.
Personally I believe this creature exists in the spirit realm and only occasionally enters our domaine. What I'm saying is I don't believe you could kill one if you tried.

And old missionary to mexico told me years ago "some demons you can shoot out and some you must cast out".
