Mesabe and Gotta Know: Yeah, I've written about this past weekend privately to a few people, and I think it might be helpful to put the information out there, probably in its own thread. (So glad to see you here, Gotta Know. You read my mind, because it's YOU I've been thinking about most in connection with the sighting on Sunday. Everything that happened that day connects directly with your recent experience, Sasfooty's additional information about what happened that day, and my own experiences coping with uncertainty out in the woods. So I'm SO glad you put in that 'request'! Stay tuned. ) And Mesabe, I agree with Maggie; I bet stuff is going on around you, too. Prime the pump with some gifts, like you were mentioning, and report back! Maggie, here's an interview with someone who has either shared her garden with the bigs, or created a separate one for them (I forget which it was, but I think she did both things at different times). And I think you're right, putting out piles of food can sometimes (but not always) backfire, but designating parts of your garden as theirs doesn't seem to cause the same issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7DifeOYSB4&index=15&list=PLXfsQrlVODPvk0X3Bp8SvdUFm--TaxBBe

I'm sure they at least monitor the butchering and packing processes to help insure the meats go out free of contaminants. But if there is disease in the livestock it would greatly impact your father's business if the disease wasn't discovered until the meat was being processed/tested at the facility. By then the contamination in the livestock herds could be widespread and devastating to the industry and you father's business would suffer along with many other processors. The public would be unmerciful in their distrust of meat products and the ripples would continue on into the financial world of buyers and sellers. The long memory of the public would cripple the meat industry long after the livestock in the field was given a clean bill of health. IOW there is no room for error or bad publicity in the meat industry. The BEST way to avoid this is to test animals on the hoof before they ever leave the grazing fields. I'm also sure the soil in those fields are also tested. There are no vaccines for these kinds of diseases as the mutation factor is extremely high. The only of control that I am aware of is destroying any infected animals. Reducing losses can only be done by field monitoring. Seeing something at a processing facility is everyone's nightmare.

That doesn't mean it's extraterrestrial. And that's the point- black helicopters and all. Field testing for hoof and mouth, field testing for mad cow. Both done in a way that will save the marketing of beef and Wall Street. Alien? Aliens have been used to hide covert operations before so why not now? I think it's time for the use of the same old tired extraterrestrials diversion to end. Disinformationist "researchers" like Linda Moulton Howe who wrote the book (both literally and figuratively) on cattle mutilations Read this whole Wikipedia article. Ms.. Has not one shred of proof regarding aliens. All she does is speculate and suggest things. BUT she got a book out of it and started the whole mess- and without proof beyond the carcasses themselves. She drew conclusions out of her own head. Here's an excerpt from the Wiki (the bolded text is my doing) : "In 1980, Howe produced A Strange Harvest, a documentary that suggested unusual wounds found on cattle are the work of extraterrestrial beings who harvest body parts required for their survival or research, and that the U.S. government is complicit. The documentary received a Regional Emmy award in 1981.[7] Howe became known as a "staunch advocate" for these ideas, and began to focus on UFO conspiracy theories and speculate about alleged connections between cattle mutilations, UFOs and supposed government conspiracies, saying "I am convinced that one or more alien intelligences are affecting this planet".[2][3] Although Howe claimed she was shown secret documents after being taken into confidence by an agent of the government, author John Greer wrote that Howe presented no evidence for such claims other than "the very ambiguous evidence provided by rotting cow carcasses."

Information like this should always be welcome. Shows to go you to: You don't know what makes a sound until you do. The idea that something that doesn't support the existence of Sasquatch should be resisted because it might somehow undermine the evidence it does exist is just the kind of wall of denial skeptics like to use to make their case. As soon as somebody offer me a plausible explanation as to what emits chatters and roars, bends and stacks up giant tree trunks, and leaves huge footprints I'll be all ears. So far, no real range of choices on offer, no.

I don't know, I just like sending bigfoot poo to random people.
