A Canadian Sasquatch researcher currently suing the province of British Columbia is bringing his case to California by way of another lawsuit filed last week.

Todd Standing made headlines last fall when he began a civil lawsuit against the Canadian government in an effort to prove that Sasquatch exists in a court of law.

Not content to simply wait for the case to work its way through the Canadian legal system, Standing is now teaming up with some American counterparts to go after the state of California.

In keeping with the curious nature of the legendary creature, details surrounding the case are fuzzy, at best, although the crux of the lawsuit centers around proving that Sasquatch is real and deserves to be protected by the state.

Certain that he has the evidence to confirm, once and for all, that Bigfoot is a flesh and blood creature, Standing declared to Global News in Canada, "we can't lose. How can we lose?"

Much like his strategy for suing the Canadian government, the Sasquatch researcher plans to enlist a bevy of experts who, he believes, will testify to the reality of the creature.

What separates this new lawsuit from the British Columbian version is that Standing and company apparently have an actual hearing date for the case: March 19th.

Whether the group will be able to make their case for the creature then or if it is simply the day that the lawsuit gets summarily dismissed by a disgusted judge remains to be seen.

Oh Jerez , when local Govt is asked about the signs, they will just say “psyc” lol. Honestly I can see them saying “better safe than sorry “ and posted the signs as a precaution in the event they exist based on eye witness reports. This is not an admission. I predict this arguement won’t hold up.
 
A much-discussed lawsuit brought against the state of California in an effort to obtain legal recognition of Bigfoot's existence has been dropped by the woman behind the endeavor.

Claudia Ackley made headlines earlier this year when she, along with Canadian Sasquatch researcher Todd Standing, filed the Bigfoot-based lawsuit aimed at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

However, with a March 19th hearing date fast approaching, Ackley was convinced by her attorney last week to have the case dismissed for fear that the initial filing would not hold up in court.

The reasoning behind that argument is that the lawsuit had been written by Ackley and Standing with the help of a paralegal, but without any input from an actual attorney who would know the legal nuances necessary to produce an airtight filing.

As such, this particular case has been dropped, for now, with plans to re-file the lawsuit once it can be property written by attorneys who are working with the group.

"There's so many things a lawyer has to do appropriately. We now have a team of lawyers in the U.S. who are going to put it together," Standing revealed to the San Bernardino Sun.

It remains to be seen when the new lawsuit will be filed as Standing indicated that the team must start from scratch on the filing, suggesting that it could be months if not years before Bigfoot gets its day in California court.
