When people start referring to Bigfoot as a "proven wild animal" then I would agree to it being fascinating. You are so intent on wanting the reality of Bigfoot that you've literally convinced yourself that it is now proven.
To claim that Bigfoot is proven and that science, scientists, and skeptics are all wrong seems almost like reaching the point of desperation. Is there a reason why Bigfoot can't just be a mystery? Or are believers now in need of absolutes like the hardline skeptics?
Like I stated before I want Bigfoot to be real as much as the next guy, but I want real evidence that can't be written off as hoaxing or misidentification. Descriptions and reports have been out there and accessible to anyone, making them easy to mimic. This is not solid evidence of anything. The foot castings seem to come in every shape and size imaginable lacking any real consistency.
