Shelly Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) No Wag, I am well aware of animal behavior like that but, from what I have seen it also pertains to its own species. A chimp might be concerned about a sick chimp, but will rip the arm off of a person who is trying to help it. And animal "emotions" still do not mean that a prehistoric ape type has the same feelings, emotions and psychological constructs as modern man. by and large animals operate off of instinct and innate behavior. They do what they do because that is what they have always done. A bigfoot today probably acts much the same way as he did 10,000 years ago (in my opinion) Edited January 15, 2014 by Shelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockape Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks for the reply Wag. Bigfoots are capable of taking out humans but why don't they more often? But the creature had never attacked humans that we know of until Saturday August 1 2009. Other people in the campground said the two boys had been fishing in one of the lakes in the campground earlier in the day and told of throwing rocks at a large hairy Swamp Ape creature. The people in the campground said at the time they thought the boys were making up stories but then at 10 PM the creature came into the campground and attacked and supposedly murdered the two boys. They went on to say that the creature threw a teen age boy over each shoulder and ran off back into the swamp with them.........................read more http://crazyhorsesghost.hubpages.com/hub/Big-Foot-Attacks That story was a hoax by a film company for some video they were releasing. No one from that area had ever heard of it or read it in the supposed "newspaper". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BF can have empathy, BF empathy, just as a dog has 'dog empathy'. Dogs do not have 'human empathy' but they have the 'same' feelings as humans.

No one from that area had ever heard of it or read it in the supposed "newspaper". Just wondering. How do we know it wasn't in the newspaper? Who from that area never heard of the story?

Rockape Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I remember a BF blogger trying to look into the story, but could find nothing from the locals about it. They all said they hadn't heard this, which you would think they had if there had been such a large scale manhunt. Also this was traced back to a film company.

hiflier Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hello Shelly, ...They do what they do because that is what they have always done.... As long as there's a bit of speculation I will add that they do what they do because they can't do anything else. Same thing really in a sense.

mesabe Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Those newspaper clippings, from the first account of the two boys, look fake. IMO They have different dates at the top, but the portion of the next collumn, that's cut off to the right, are all the same. I don't think that would happen from day to day in a normal newspaper printing. Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coonbo Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 it was a fake. It was part of an attempt to do a Blair Witch style of film, so I've heard. Also, if you look closely at the three or four "newspaper" articles, you can easily tell that it's different articles photoshopped onto the same newspaper looking background.

They can scare us if they want to, and no one thinks they do exist. Eh. Edited January 17, 2014 by Wag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it says alot for BF since we are having trouble finding incidents where human were hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
