But then, you already knew this, right? However, if for some strange reason you didn't already know after all this time? You do now. There are laws. What laws? The US legal system only pertains to Homo Sapiens. There is no legal precedent for any other species to have legal representation. Labs own Chimpanzees and do experiments on them. Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives.👌 With that said? How many Homo Sapien type specimens are in our museums right now?🤨 https://news.artnet.com/market/its-not-just-art-that-indigenous-peoples-want-back-from-museums-they-want-their-ancestors-human-remains-too-1397737/amp-page 1

The very last thing that they want on earth is another human species.

Look what they did with the spotted owl? But maybe you’re right? If the 911 books are true? They may have to take on a lot of responsibility and lawsuits? I like the truth. Just like with UFO’s? But with the government the truth is never forth coming…..ever.🙄

Government may move slow, but it does move.

There is NO circular argument. You’re the one who butted into my comment that was not directed at you….remember? Dr. Mayor lays it all out with her discovery of the new species of Lemur in Madagascar. Two Lemurs were collected and live in captivity. When they die? They will become the species type specimens! I posted the video awhile back. For obviously reasons this is not possible with a 800 lbs elusive dangerous ape man that is supposed to break the necks of running Elk. *******DNA discovery or no? Two type specimens will be collected for science********

But that's not the issue. The issue is a private citizen shouldn't be the one out gunning for these things. The LAWS I spoke of weren't referencing HUMAN laws. I was referring to HUNTING laws. That's why I said you're a hunter. You're a law abiding citizen, Norseman, and a law abiding hunter. And if it wasn't an absolute dire situation to put food on the table I know you would NEVER go out and poach a deer, bear, elk, or any other animal. So why not use DNA to it's the fullest potential to at least verify this creature's existence before going out and poaching one- which is what it would be, and which I know goes against your grain in a truly big way. I say all of this because I have great respect for you, NOT because I just want to give you a hard time. I NEVER want to give you a hard time and I'm sorry if it comes across that way- it's highly non-productive and only hurts the goal of discovery. Edited August 5, 2023 by hiflier

I am not hunting Bigfoot for food. It’s only for scientific discovery, ok? Only ONE county in Washington state is it a misdemeanor to harm a Bigfoot. ONE. And who would not take the misdemeanor to make one of the biggest discoveries in human history??? I would! And again for the millionth time? I’m not against collecting DNA samples. But why collect a DNA sample if one is looking right at you? How many sightings get reported on a yearly basis? All lost opportunities. Let’s stop judging each other and get off our high horses and focus on the most field expedient way of proving this cryptid a real animal. I don’t make the rules with science. DNA and type specimens are interlinked. Most DNA comes from a chunk of the animal….typically deceased. Science doesn’t care if it was natural causes or the bush meat trade. What it is, how many it is and how to properly manage the species??? Comes after it’s no longer a CRYPTID!!! No fish and game agency is debating or putting money into managing Pixies or Gnomes or Mothmen or Werewolves. And Bigfoot will get no consideration for conservation either as long as it remains in this camp…. 1

The snow tracks should tell any experienced fur bearer expert what made those tracks. Why the DNA. So would Sasquatch leave DNA in snow? You betcha!

Because they submitted proposals for funding to do so under the auspices of the management of wildlife on government owned and classified lands, and they got that funding, primarily to strengthen their power over that land and wildlife resource. They DON'T do so with sasquatch tracks because they have no desire or intent on managing sasquatches. Now ask me why that's so. I dare ya'..........
hiflier Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Why is that so? WAIT, WAIT, I Know! Pick me! Pick me! Because it would say they exist? Edited August 5, 2023 by hiflier
