Lake County Bigfooot Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 I must wonder if Theodore Roosevelt decided to preserve the west and much of the protected lands for the survival of this specie. We know he knew of their existence second hand through stories told by trappers, and as a large game hunter must have wanted to bag one for his trophy wall, sad but those were such times. His actions and the further protecting of lands, the growing preservation and restoration have allowed this creature to survive even in the lower 48 where human presence is greatly felt. Canada on the other hand is a vast wilderness with much less human impact, as is norther Russia. The argument is often made that such a creature could not have remained hidden from man all these years, well it is really only recently that man has lost knowledge of their existence. The fact that all these native cultures around the globe have a word for such a creature fitting various descriptions that point to a commonality, suggests rather convincingly that something certainly filled this description in reality. The mountain gorilla was not discovered till the early 1900s, and myth surrounded it for centuries. North America should have an ape, all other continents have their own primates lesser and greater. We have ample resources to hide and supply such a reclusive apex predator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did it for the animals, water, land and most importantly for the enjoyment and use of future generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptics of bigfoot’s existence or non-existence generally believe that they can be justifiably certain about either theory under certain conditions. Yeah, the bolded is what you see from them here, just add bigfoot at the end of it. Yet, the proof comes from the cogency of evidence they are uncertain of. I guess some folks just have to be told by some higher authority that they exist since most aren't that authority and wont be making any authoritative analysis of any evidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wondering a similar thing since digging into the Chicago scene - the fact that the forest preserves are completely contiguous along the Des Plaines River (and the North Chicago, as I'm finding) stands out. If you replaced even one of those patches of woods with a strip mall, none of it would be accessible to them. It does seem more likely that these are just well-intentioned initiatives to keep a little bit of green in the human landscape, and sasquatch being naturally opportunistic reaping the benefits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means that if and when our species ever bumps into a alien civilization millions of years more advanced than we are? They will probably be robots or AI of some sort. So why would they care about manipulating the crude DNA of a human? Why if real is Sasquatch a Hominid? It walks bipedal. And It has a non opposable big toe. It lacks claws. This is evident with track casts. Therefor these facts presented in the supposed evidence of Bigfoot? Drastically narrows the field down to Hominids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OntarioSquatch Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 The morphology of their body is highly consistent with that of hominids, especially those within the Homo genus. It’s past this very basic premise that most screw up. Of course, not everyone can agree with even that basic premise; we see theories on sasquatch being something other than a hominid, and often by trained parrots with PhDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIB Posted April 20, 2018 Moderator Share Posted April 20, 2018 As we progress with AI, neural nets, nanotechnology, and genetic manipulation, it becomes apparent that bigfoot MIGHT be something we don't expect at the moment. Don't laugh 'til you've thought it through. If you manage, you won't want to laugh at all. Shudder, but not laugh. We could be next ... self-inflicted ... as people start messing with sciences that blur the boundaries between biology and technology. Is that what the purported gov't coverup of bigfoot hides?

SWWASAS Posted April 21, 2018 BFF Patron Share Posted April 21, 2018 Was fighting the edit function. Let me continue. Reports of weapons emptied with no effect and no blood trail make me wonder. As humans are finding space travel is very dangerous. Astronauts out of the earths magnetic field are at risk of being fried by solar flares. Robots are more suited for space travel. If some advanced intelligence visited a million years ago noted how the most advanced earth species looked, it would be no surprise they would send a robot back that looked the same. Or is primitive earth being used as a zoo to save a giant hairy species from a planet with a dying sun? DNA would tell all. Is that why bodies and bones are dissappeared by our government?
