Why Don't They Kill Us?

[Incorrigible1]

I think its a fairly good chance it was Bigfoot who threw the rock because there were no others that we saw in that area. We walked there alot, like every weekend for 3 hour walks for years during good weather and we never ran into others there. It is the area where I saw a very tall, dark & hairy man walking in the woods once and where I have found the stick nest things before I knew what they were. So considering all that and fact he is known for liking to chuck rocks at people I think there is a strong possibility Bigfoot threw a rock at mom and that it wasn't some chipmunk.

With respect, I didn't mean the culprit was a chipmunk. I do mean the thrower was in huge likelihood human. Occam casts a sharp razor.

Why don't they kill us? I always felt that they would if hungry enough. I took this excerpt from Henry Franzoni’s “In the Spirit of Seatco.â€In this timeless artistic tradition, a painter named Paul Kane came to the Lower Columbia in 1847, during the 1843-1867 dual-occupancy period, and wrote the following story:

“When we arrived at the mouth of the Kattlepoutal [Lewis] River, twenty-six miles from Fort Vancouver, I stopped to make a sketch of the volcano, Mt. St. Helens, distant…30 about thirty or forty miles. This volcano has never been visited by either Whites or Indians; the latter assert that it is inhabited by a race of beings of a different species, who are cannibals, and whom they hold in great dread; they also say that there is a lake at its base (Spirit Lake) with a very extraordinary kind of fish in it, with a head resembling that of a bear more than any other animal. These superstitions are taken from the statement of a man, who they say went to the mountain with another, and escaped the fate of his companion, who was eaten by the ‘Skoocooms’, or evil genii. I offered aconsiderable bribe to any Indian who would accompany me in its exploration, but could not find one hardy enough to venture… There was not a cloud visible in the sky at the time I commenced my sketch, and not a breath of air was perceptible: suddenly a stream of white smoke shot up from the crater of the mountain, and hovered a short time over its summit; it then settled down like a cap.â€

This is not the first time that I came across a story that painted the Sasquatch as savages who ate human flesh. Give me time to dig them up and I will find a few other examples.

On a side note and not that its any type of proof by a long shot but what I find incredible is the amount of people who vanish/disappear each year in the U.S as well as Canada.

If a six foot 200 lbs man needs 2000 calories a day to live,then what the hell are the requirements for a 10ft 600lbs monster? You do the math, but something tells me that a handful of berries isn't going to cut it.

Primates kill. Primates kill each other. No reason to think they don't kill us. If they killed someone deep in the woods, how would you know what killed them? How would you even know the person was killed? They would be missing, presumed dead. If Bigfoot isn't found at the mall why would anyone think you'd know if they killed someone if the body wasn't found? If Bigfoot bodies aren't found why would a "lost" hiker be found? If Bigfoot exists, they've killed people. I mean, why wouldn't they have killed us? Why would they be different than any other primate that kills? Makes more sense to think they kill and have killed us than they don't or haven't.

It's been my experience that generally personal information and specific location are what is redacted from reports. Would there be a reason to redact an assault from a report?

No, I've been told by one of the people who used to do this that both entire reports were sent to the trash bin, or the portions that contained paranormal elements were redacted if they were quality otherwise. Same as has occurred on forums over the years.

Strange that this Yowie Attack story (complete with pics of a naked attackee) would turn up at this time. It happened, I think, in 2009, but this is the first time I've seen it.

Sorry if it's already been posted.

Couldn't he have worn some briefs and spared viewers a little discomfort? I don't know what the pictures are suppose to prove... I used to bruised up like that nightly in judo class.

[Sasfooty]

I thought briefs would have been a nice touch, too.

There's not really anything that they would have covered that I would have minded missing.

[Guest]

LOL!!

I'll second that! I think maybe I'll give them the benefit of the doubt an consider the photo's were taken in the spirit of evidence collection and all parties involved were quite shaken up. It was most likely the smart thing to do, documenting the injury's. Plus I'm not entirely sure they assumed these would go "Public" at the time.

All due respect to everyone, may I make a couple of points. First, Sasquatch do kill people. There is a highway in Canada, up north near Prince George that is informally known as the "Highway of tears" in the local media. It was given this name by the sorrowful friends and relatives of the women who disappeared along this road. Since the seventies there are over forty of them. One theory is that bears are taking victims in this area. This theory is given little credence among locals because bears are messy as hell, but the disappeared have left no trace. Also, animals do not think to clean up the evidence, such as clothing or shoes.

This brings me to my second point which is that we cannot admit to ourselves the possibility that Bigfoot is a predator. It is too ghastly! If we were to confront these fears we would need to significantly alter our world view. Much easier to suppose Bigfoot is a laughable buffon, the object of jerky eater's practical jokes. A harmless, timid creature that is a little awed by us.

[Guest Blackdog]

A quick google check shows that the people that have gone missing on the Highway of Tears are mostly native women from the impovershed areas near the highway. Many were likely hitchhiking or prostitutes.

Blaming missing people on bigfoot is kind of sad IMHO when these are real people with real lives and families. The most likely explanation is a serial killer or a series of killers who took advantage of the situation, got what they wanted out of the women and discarded the bodies because they thought no one would care.

Blackdog, I think part of the problem in these cases has been that many of the victims were stereotyped by authorities as prostitutes or hitchhicking, but that parents or loved ones were adamant that this wasn't the case. Apparently this is what is frustrating for victims families. Sure some may have been but maybe not as many as we're led to believe. I debated whether to put this link up, but since these are families missing loved ones who in the end want more people to know, I did. Link Yeah victims do have faces.

So many victims along a 500 mile stretch as seen on the bottom of page. Whomever did this, its an ugly situation that has spanned decades. Not that anything points to a band of cannibal Sasquatch from what we are privy to, but obviously we don't have access to background info either. Its just an ugly situation for sure. Don't know what more to say about this one other then very sad.

That was my point, I posted from my phone at work after a quick Google search.

This was a recurring thing on the old BFF, blaming missing people on bigfoot and I guess it's a pet peeve of mine. These are real people and families who suffered and are suffering and to try and make that suffering a point of discussion about bigfoot is disrespectful in my book.

I'm not looking to discuss it, that's just the way I feel.

[Guest]

Agreed BD, kinda went against my better judgement to post a link, but at the same time felt it wasn't right how victims are reduced to lessor status (hitchhikers & pros) as a reason for their disappearance.

Moving on...

I just assumed he was an exhibitionist.

There was never any proof these women were all prostitutes and hitchhikers. IMHO anytime non-white women have bad things happen to them they often get accused of being prostitutes because the authorities really don't care what happens to them & they want an excuse not to have to look. There is no public outcry. You see this often too where children go missing and if they are non-white very often you will not hear about it on the local news. I think its improbable the vanishing Native women were prostitutes are its not a popular occupation among Native women. I've heard of this before where thousands of Native women have vanished from all over US and Canada, not just on that stretch of highway and no one has any answers as to how or why. Perhaps it is a serial killer who hates Native women, maybe because one did him wrong. But really no one knows and no one investigates this.
