I dont see many organizations hunting them at all, in fact I would say most are anti kill and run around whooping, knocking on trees and pack dental resin around. I dont subscribe to the Bigfoot army hypothesis either. Sure if you wound one, you could certainly have a fight on your hands, but a troupe of ten animals or something like that attacking you? Highly doubtful. Living in large groups puts stress on the habitat, draws attention and leaves way too much sign behind to follow. I think they resemble Orangs in their MO, solitary, shy creatures, that only come together to mate.

Well, Hiflier, that hornet nest may get a cork put it in eventually.

Melba is probably an agent of the logging industry releasing a false narrative of "human hybridization". Branco is probably a government agent here to make the government appear more capable then they really are. Hiflier is probably Melba's assistant helping to make her appear credible. Old Dog is probably the paid operative instructed to seed the information to the public. Wingman is probably an agent of the National Wildlife Federation here to foil Melba's secret plans and save the Bigfoot species from extinction. The rest of us are probably government minions using the Mushroom Growing technique.

Hello Ontario Squatch, Then according to my "search history" Google should have been handing me that piece of information on a silver platter. And I'm fully aware of how Google offers different stuff for different countries as that particular Forun like most is populated with international members. But somehow that doesn't make me any more comfortable about Google and only serves to reinforce my filtering comment. It's the tip of the iceberg for what Dr. Ketchum has been dealing with. But some of this is off topic so I need to move on from it.

Are you implying Google intentionally filters BF content? If so, that is a complete delusion. I would not ask you to prove or recant that statement but take this as fact - your assumption is 100% inaccurate. That would indicate the rest of your commentary is also off base as well. I know the comment wasn't yours Hiflier but some other poster mentioned the U.S. government has been covering up BF for "hundreds of years." Please, somehow, some way, repair yourselves. No repair needed. In case the word hasn't gotten around, the government and its minions DO use the "Mushroom Growing" techniques for folks who don't want the hassle of thinking and reasoning for themselves. Give it a few more decades. A lot has been kept from the people. Some of the samples were from the US. Wait and see. As someone said, "It ain't over 'till it's over".

You may be "wondering" Hiflier, but you certainly are not wandering. This is what turned the dogs loose on Dr. K: Presidential Memorandum on Scientific Integrity (March 9, 2009). Notice the "issue" date? The memo puts EVERYONE involved in scientific research in this country under the thumb of government. The government has tried to cover up the existence of the feral primates in this country for hundred of years, Now they have a tool to effectively shut down any scientific research involving the creatures. Any laboratory, person, university, contractors, subcontractors or vendor to any entity that accepts a penny in government funds or grants can, by one phone call, be "urged" to review and make public their opinions about "perceived errors" in the written reports of other scientific. You can bet that if the other DNA experts working on BF samples are from this country; their work will catch hell from the "thumb controlled" scientists. (I suspect that the good Dr. S from the UK may have been convinced in Ashland that a DNA sample from an unclassified primate that was native to this country should not be made the subject of a scientific report.) There are other things going on that may force the governments hands on the BF cover-up. Involved agencies have been making preparations for the disclosure for many years. When push comes to shove, and it serves the interest of those in control, they may drop the other shoe. (Before any of the elite nay-saying skeptics kick off their agenda about this post, I suggest they read that Memo, and the resulting procedures, polices and protocol that every department of government (and private or public entities covered by the memo) was required to devise and implement. It may take a few days.)

Hello Bodhi, I do sometimes find myself wondering if character assassination is a good method for refuting DNA testing. For some maybe it is. It can be very effective, especially when there's a claim that an independent lab supports the results of 12 other labs. Character assassination, yessireebob, that's the way of science.

Uh, OK, Sweaty. No one was talking about Kit. Obsess much?

It would also require people to admit something is evidence. DNA of not exactly human abductors has been recovered and tested, it will still not do anything to progress anything until humans can get on the same page about discovering the truth no matter what it may be. This below is text from the series of encounters by Peter Khoury from Australia that ended in the collecting of 2 hairs from a woman described below, the hair sample came from the blond. These two women looked human in nearly every way. They had well proportioned adult bodies. One looked somewhat Asian, with straight dark shoulder-length hair and dark eyes. The other looked perhaps Scandinavian, with light-colored ("maybe bluish") eyes and long blond hair that fell half-way down her back. Her hair was especially notable to Peter Khoury. "I had never seen a hair style like that. It was curled something like Farrah Fawcett, but to an extreme... It just looked really exotic in a way," he told Chalker. But Khoury felt that these women were not exactly human. Their faces were somewhat odd -- not unattractive, but too chiseled, with very high cheekbones and eyes that were two or three times larger than normal. Khoury took special notice of the blonde. Her face was too long, he felt. "I have never seen a human looking like that," he said. The blonde, who was sitting in a kneeling position on the bed, seemed to be in charge. Khoury thought she was communicating telepathically with the dark-haired woman, who was sitting with her legs partly folded under her. There was something stiff, almost blank, in the expressions of the women, Khoury thought. The pieces of hair, carefully stored away since the encounter, became the subject of the first openly-reported scientific DNA test on a possible abduction-related sample. The blond hairs were extremely thin and almost clear in color. It was determined that the hair was not chemically treated, because if it had been, little or no mitochondrial DNA could have been recovered. However, using the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) process, good quality DNA was recovered. For comparison, samples were also taken of Peter Khoury's hair and that of his wife Vivian. DNA was successfully extracted from Peter's hair, but no usable DNA was recovered from Vivian's hair, possibly because of chemical treatment. After thorough testing of the hair samples, the scientists of the Anomaly Physical Evidence Group arrived at a startling conclusion. The thin blond hair, which appeared to have come from a light-skinned caucasian-type woman, could not have come from a normal human of that racial type. Instead, though human, the hair showed five distinctive DNA markers that are characteristic of a rare sub-group of the Chinese Mongoloid racial type. A detailed survey of the literature on variations in mitochondrial DNA, comprising tens of thousands of samples, showed only four other people on record with all five of the distinctive markers in the blond hair. All four were Chinese, with black hair. Mitochondrial DNA is passed only from mother to child and therefore offers a means of tracing ancient ancestry on the mother's side. The findings suggest that all four of the Chinese subjects share a common female ancestor with the blonde woman. But there is no easy explanation for how this could be. Testing for nuclear DNA, if such could be recovered from the blond hair, would be more complex and expensive than the tests run so far, but might show that the lineage of the blonde's father was even stranger than that of her mother. But such testing must await funding that has yet to be found. So far, the members of the Anomaly Physical Evidence Group have financed all their work themselves. Without the blond hair sample, the story told by Peter Khoury is but one more in an almost endless sequence of wrenching, but unprovable, abduction accounts. The hair, however, changes everything. It undeniably exists, and thorough forensic testing shows that it is anomalous. It seems likely that no person with blond hair and an exact DNA match to Khoury's blonde could be found in the city of Sydney, nor on the continent of Australia, nor -- probably -- anywhere in the world. To keep this on topic with the OP, if we keep throwing out evidence( as in throwing out purported Sasquatch dna samples because they have human markers) because it does not support our view of what should be then we are throwing out any chance of knowing the whole picture when it comes to Sasquatch or any other being we are confronted with.

Hello Ontario Squatch, I agree, except in the anthropological, social, religious, industrial, governmental, biological, environmental, and psycholical sense

DWA, when you were a child, did your mother ask you stuff like " If your friends said that you should jump off a bridge, would you do it?". I bet you always answered, "Yes".
