I saw a show on the possible existance of the Loch Ness monster a few nights back.
Seems a large living thing came up from a lake here in the U.S. many years back. A woman on the bank reported that she couldn't tell what it was and had never seen anything like it, so... she did what anyone would do... she SHOT it.
A very large sturgeon with a bullet hole in it washed up a little while later.
I've long been aware of the "look at that amazing creature -- let's kill it" mentality, but can't say I understand it.
