Hunting Season Opens for Mythological Creature

[EternalMaiden]

In Stockholm Sweden there exists an age old myth about a mysterious serpent in the depths of some Swedish Lake.
The myth began around the late 1600's, and since the Storsjo monster has been reported a few hundred times. So in 1986 they made it officially illegal to hunt this serpent, and labelled it endagered.

Today it's hunting season! The mysterious creature hasn't been proven in all this time, so scientifically it doesn't exist, not to mention being endangered. So the Storsjo monster has been removed from the endagered species list.

This reminds me of Dragon Heart, when the Dragons lived in exile from the barbaric flame throwers. :( But I guess science is science.


"It exists, inasmuch as it lives in the minds of people," the council's chief legal adviser Peter Lif said about the purported beast. "But I guess we'll have to agree that it cannot be proved scientifically, and then it should not be listed as an endangered species."

The so-called Storsjo monster was first mentioned in print in 1635. Hundreds of sightings have been reported since then. Some people describe the creature as a snakelike animal with a dog's head and fins on its neck. But no clear image of it has been captured on camera.

I think that they have avoided us thus far i am not thinking that suddenlythey'll be slaughtered. worst case scenario? someone finds one shoots it, and viola it's back on the endangered species list and we know more about it
best case scenario?- they never find it.

best case scenario, they find it take a few shots at it, someone is recording the whole thing the creature points at them lauhs hysterically at their puny efforts, tumps them all over, and dissappears. Then we can ooh and ahh and :hehehehe: at them too.

Hi Ho the Diaryo
A hunting we will go

Sry had to be a smartass on it. As for the monster it would be interesting to have it reappear along with many others such as Nessie, Big Foot, or any other you can think of. Then again if your have ever visited the Astral Plane and fully explored its areas you may or may not have seen some things considered mythical continue their exsistance there.

Also i do not harm anyone or thing I do not have to.

I pretty much agree.
Bigfoot,Nessie, Aliens,etc.... If any or all of it is out there, I hope we (humans) never find it, because we have a nasty history of destroying things that we don't understand.
