      Bigfoot myth or monster?

      Prove that logging helps ungulates.   And Bigfoot preys on ungulates….   Win/win!

      WHY DO THE FEDS WANT BIGFOOT TO REMAIN UNDCOMENTED & MYTHICAL?

      By Huntster · Posted

      I believe you are correct.     That's a huge question. If these creatures are determined to be hominins (and I'm sure they will be), they will be the most unique species on Earth. Unlike any other, they might be determined to have human rights, yet still be considered to be wild animals, thus forced assimilation would be inappropriate, if not outright impossible both for them and us.     In addition to political resource and land use issues, the criminal behavior issues would have to be ironed out and lived with. For example, everybody would know of their existence, and many would be fearful. so what are the rules if camping and a sasquatch raids your camp at night, even if just curious or stealing your morning granola? Can you shoot it if fearful? It's "human", and there's likely fewer than 5000 of them throughout North America. In comparison, there are @ 22,000 polar bears in North America, and not many more humans in polar bear habitat.

      WHY DO THE FEDS WANT BIGFOOT TO REMAIN UNDCOMENTED & MYTHICAL?

      By georgerm · Posted

      Government has very good reasons to keep sasquatches undiscovered and let's look at some of those reasons why the Forest Service and BLM probably do not want sasquatch to be discovered and receive a genus and species name. The government knows at some point a bigfoot will be captured or a body or living creature will be recovered. It's just a matter of time before a bigfoot is captured or killed which is necessary to proving its existence, and the government agencies in charge of timber production probably have a plan in place once the discovery happens. What do you think the plan is? When discovery happens an agency will be in charge of the new species and its well being since the public will probably demand that bigfoot's habitat will be protected. Once discovered then problems will begin such as environmental groups will demand that bigfoot be protected and logging close to it's range of operation will probably be stopped. This is when major problems will begin to happen and I will turn this conversation to the members to describe what these problems might be and what are the possible solutions.

      The U.S. government has literally hundreds of years of experience trying to get native peoples and immigrants to live together in peace. Current events demonstrate that the battles continue. With sasquatchery, and unlike Native American tribes, "mythology" helps keep the political difficulty to such a minimum as to eliminated it altogether.   From AI:     It's tough enough to deal with humanity under ethnic and tribal terms. Sub-species adds complexities and legal uncertainties. Government has very good reasons to keep sasquatches undiscovered. It makes their lives easier, keeps sasquatches living as wild as possible, reduces impacts to sasquatches by humanity, and reduces economic disruptions to a minimum.
