If they do not exist, why all the sightings?

By "race" I mean unknown race of hominids [ie man-like]

Well, when you consider that the great African Mountain Gorilla was considered a myth until something like 1950, when an English hunter shot one and took it back to England, you have to wonder about Big Foot.
Native Americans refer to Big Foot as 'Sasquash.' In Texas and Arkansas it is called the 'three toed brush ape.'
An account by one hunter shooting small game was that he suddenly became aware of a strange stillness and quiet all around him. He unloaded his over-n-under 12 gauge of the birdshot rounds in it and replaced them with buckshot. When he looked around he spotted a large, man-like creature covered in reddish hair. He couldn't bring himself to shoot it because it was too human-like. Later he stated that if it had been an old hermit living out there by himself, he would never have forgiven himself.
In Texas the experts are divided into finding proof of Bigfoot, or killing him to prove his existance. Current 'proof,' hair, blood, droppings, tracks are inconclusive. They are all classified by the scientists as "undetermined mammel." This, they say, is because they have nothing to compare Bigfoot samples to. Example, if you find wolf hair it can be matched because scientists have wolf hair to compare it to. Apparently the Bigfoot samples brought in for analysis do not match anything that scientists keep around to compare with. The official reply is always, "unclassified mammel."
NOTE: Even humans are considered mammels, so go figure.
A Mormon friend of mine assures me that Bigfoot is Cain (Abel's brother from the Old Testament) and his kin.
I am not in favor of shooting a Bigfoot except in self defense and truthfully, I think it should be protected. It may be an endangered species of yet unclassified, North American Ape. If it turns out to be Cain, then the shooter would be in big trouble. He's not only guilty of murder, but he is cursed seven times. For God said, if anyone kills Cain, Cain will be avenged sevenfold and God Himself marked Cain so that no one would kill him (Old Testament Book of Genesis).

Cousin Clem says he saw a Bigfoot race down at the high-school.
He's pretty sure that the visiting team was real.
They were out there plain as day, then a fellow in a striped shirt shot off a pistol gun. Well that started the Bigfoot race.
One of those visitors was the winner of the Bigfoot race. They gave him a Blue Ribbon for winning the Bigfoot Race.

consider the idea of an Animal with It's own Instincts, and Human Intelligence...:)
With such a Foot as Big a that, It could sense and Know where to Not Be---avoiding contact with those silly Human Beings!!!
How many times have YOU personally seen a Cougar?
or a Skunk, a Bear or ... well, any wild Creature?
I won't rule out the possibility of other sentient beings besides the ones Humans have been able to classify.

Well, they have that cast of its footprint, don't they? And haven't a lot of experts examined it and not found any evidence that it was a hoax? Seems like they really exist to me.
