Some people believe anything if they read it in a report.

WSA - Wrong, wrong, wrong! I won't speak for everyone but I don't have any philosophical problem with the possibility that 8,10,12 or even 20' giant bipedal apes are running around. The natural world has many simple yet elegant solutions to problems involving blood distribution that allow for such possibilities. My problem with stories from groups like NAWAC is that I can't actually study the solution like I can with a giraffe, whale or even extinct sauropod. People can tell me about a giraffe, whale and even sauropods but I don't have to wait on their stories. I can see these animals in the wild, in captivity, in museums and textbooks. We can study their behaviors, capture it on video to share with others and collect samples - blood, scat, hair/feathers and skin cells to monitor and study their biology even though some study samples are thousands and even millions of years old. We can even find a specimen for dissection and study when one dies or washes up on the beach if we don't want to collect yet another one. It involves mostly mundane work but it happens everyday. NAWAC can't do this, WHY? What mundane explanation is there for the fact that every purported Sassy encounter has failed to produce biological evidence of Sassy? Are you intellectually honest enough to stop addressing your imaginary problem with skeptics and address the actual lack of Sassy? Do you have the courage to face the actual problem?

I suspect Dr. Meldrum is very interested in publicity and travel on other folk's dime due to his status. You watch any documentary and there he is. He appears to be easily fooled but I suppose everyone is. t.

wow, ^^ F.T.W. !!

Dr. Bindernagel is not science, he's a scientist whose opinion doesn't match the vast majority of others in his field, meaning there's an extremely good possibility he's mistaken. WSA's legal advice will never trump science when dealing with actual science. His "discernment" counts for naught when actually determining if reports are true as he will freely admit after having it pointed out and explained to him enough times - just check out the many threads where he has tried to post such nonsense. It doesn't matter how badly you want the tales from the ten acre Sassy corral in OK to be true, they will have to be proven with evidence, not stories about how they can't or won't collect evidence. The mystery may be all folks like WSA and you need, science and scientists want proof but need actual evidence to get there. We aren't dealing with "unexplained ideas", we are dealing with a lack of physical evidence which can't be replaced by anecdotal sighting reports no matter how many times you ineptly post the ridiculous idea that it can or should. Scientists, real honest to goodness scientists can find no proof of Sassy but it's not from lack of trying or even using cutting edge techniques. NAWAC can't find proof of Sassy (or even scat, video, photos or blood on a 10 acre property they supposedly cover well every year since 2000?) even though they claim numerous up close sightings and interactions including drawing blood during shootings. Even Sassyfoot has given up on trying to prove Sassy and she has a NAWAC style hab site in her backyard. Maybe folks like Sassyfoot and groups like NAWAC are involved in government sponsored psy ops, maybe not. Which is more likely and why according to our poor western educational teachings?

Don't we always see in history how the unexamined idea that one group of similar unexplained things is exactly like another unexplained thing clouds the judgment? Discernment, and the ability to articulate reasons for it should be what is valued here and promoted, not the clumsy lumping of phenomena together to avoid that. But the "Fairies, UFO's, Dragons, Leprechauns.." rhetoric continues unabated...

Cliff had to cancel his appearance at the Sasquatch Summit because they were filming for the show. I don't think the producers will allow much change to the format. The crew has been fighting that battle for years. For some reason they just cannot seem to evolve the format into something with a chance to work. Running around at night with IR light sources, camera crews, wood knocking, and howls have not done a thing for them but drive any self respecting BF away.

^^^ That is all well and good, DWA, but you thought the shag carpet walking by the camera in an April Fools joke was a really, real bigfoot. Your powers of evidence sussing do not impress me. http://bigfootforums.com/index.php/topic/50874-wellhmmmm-what-have-we-here/

^^^ That requires a complaint to be filed with LE. Probably why (IMO) NAWAC rushed in with a check for several thousand dollars designed to preclude such action.
