Russian Officials Claim To Have Catpured A "bigfoot"

[Guest]

one problem.

to say this isn't a yeti/almasty based on pgf, or bf reports, you conceed the point they are different critters. Since we have no footage agreed upon of an almasty, jumping to the old stand-by ''it's a guy in a suit'' is premature.

...waiting for the autopsy......

“That was a life-size puppet that we are going to use for New Year holidays. You guys just think – it’s December 29th – what kind of Yeti can there be before the New Year holidays? He will be our Yeti for three days: on December 29, 30 and 31,†the minister said.

“The holiday for children will start at 2 p.m. Ded Moroz and Snegurochka are arriving today on a special flight from Greenland. They will get to meet the Yeti that we “captured.†There will also be ten talking animals at the holiday – a wolf, a squirrel and others. Ded Moroz will introduce the Yeti to children,†the minister said.

Officials with the Border Department of the Federal Security Bureau Directorate in the Republic of Ingushetia rejected the information about the capture of the so-called Yeti by the republican border guards.

“News agencies distributed the information without checking the facts. It’s a hoax,†the press service of the department told Interfax.

It turned out that the Yeti was an ordinary Ingush hotel worker, dressed up to resemble the fantastic creature. ">The minister revealed the reason behind the show.

“It was a promotional event, a New Year joke to put the spotlight on orphans and children from dysfunctional and low-income families,†Marshani said. ">He explained that the “Snowman†was kept at the zoo for people to come and see, and make a donation. All the money raised will go to help children in need.">The prank was a huge success, with crowds from across the republic and even neighboring states hurrying to see the Yeti in the flesh.

The apparent quote by a Russian official. It is a children's zoo promotion for orphans it seems.

I'd still like to see Putin wrestle it as part of the promotion to bring in the big rubles.

Yeti capture confirmed as publicity stunt

As suggested in the second article in this series, the alleged Yeti capture in the Ingushtetia region turned out to be a publicity stunt.

The Minster of Labor and Social Development, Baugidin Mashani at first claimed to the authenticty of the capture yesterday, but today rectracted the statement by reporting the following,

But today Mr Marshini retracted his quotes, and claimed footage of the Yeti "was a stunt to promote a national park in the region."

Mr Marshani stated that reporters misinterpreted his words. However Marshani was quite clear in his statements yesterday that left little room for misinterpretation, including stating who captured the now debunked Yeti, where it was taken, where it was being kept, it's diet and sounds it was making.

Here's the orginal articles on the "capture:"

In regards to Melba's post.....Has she seen a BF before?

I believe a woman named Arla, got her into a situation where Melba can now be classed as an "eye witness" to Sasquatch existence.

Can we learn from this as far as government conspiracy theories, or still no? If it was a promotional stunt for tourism/revenue, weren't they afraid of the lumber industry shutting down? Was there widespread panic when they heard the news? With fires and looting?
