When will the government be sending him welfare cards and social security payments? He should likely be unemployed.

There needs to be laws to protect him. What would become of his family if the bread winner ended up in some secret lab on a slab.

I suspect will be like the panther in KY. Officially it does not exist. They would say the one I saw was a 100 pound house cat. Funny, as I over heard a game warden and a deputy sheriff swapping notes on when and where they saw one.

Don’t confuse Academia, their mind is made up already. In a hundred years some Dr. So-and-so will get accolades for documenting Sasquatch.

I agree and disagree with other posters. A specimen will still be needed for taxonomical classification. However, this news release will turn a great many heads and does serve as a basis for action by public officials.

If this species really does exist and is clearly a hybrid human then they are covered by our existing laws regarding hunting and murder. Anyone who deliberately kills one could be charged by an aggressive DA with one of the classes of murder. Dr. Alton Higgins and the TBRC should take note and check with their legal reps before proceeding on obtaining a specimen.

This raises anew the question about the supposed Smeja Bigfoot shooting. Will Dr. Ketchum now publicly state what her analysis of the so called Bigfoot steak revealed? My best,

My best,

However, if the DNA samples are taken from major body parts, then the proof is in the bag. I hope this stuff was at least taken in part from something of physical significance.

A non human ape species mating with human women, producing the giant Sasquatch: not unlike the “Sons of God” coming down to the “Daughters of men”, producing the giant Nephilim (the fallen ones), who were mighty men of old, of great renown (Genesis 5:1-4. See Numbers 13:33 for note on the physical size of their descendants, the Anakites of ancient Canaan)
Also not unlike the story of Zana, and her hybrid offspring…

dconstrukt: not really. A lot of folks – in the field as well as outside it – insist that a type specimen will be required. I, for one, am paying little attention to the DNA issue. Not only is more interesting stuff being done elsewhere (the TBRC for instance, which is gunning – literally – for a specimen), but DNA testing can at best catalog a range of evidence that will be useful later – once the type specimen is obtaiined.

I have one question, what motivated you to share what you did today?
… and that you simply didn’t understand that you weren’t supposed to release the information until the American Journal first published the results.

I’m answering.

We waited a couple of years the scientific publication by Dr. Melba Ketchum. But scientific magazines refuse to publish her manuscript which deserves to be published. And I want to remind some facts of the destiny of scolars in our field.

Before the First World War our zoologist Vitaly Khahlov described the creature, named it Primihomo asiaticus. He send his scientific peport very circumstantial, thorough to the Russian Academy of Sciences. And what? The report was put into the box, and had stayed there till 1959, about half of century. Until Dr. Porshnev found it and published…

Dr. Porshnev himself had written a monograph “The present State of the Question of Relict Hominoids”. It was issued in 1963 by the Academy of Sciences in some 180 copies only, for a special use. Only after a half of century (again!) it was publishe 1n 2012 in 2500 copies…

In 1960s Mongolian Academician Rinchen had sent the skull of supposed almas to Poland, becaus our anthropologists refused to study it. Poland’s anthropologist made a sculptural portrait of that creature, Rinchen called it Homo sapiens almas in 1960s. But – it has been forgotten till last years… Again half a century!

I don’t want the new discovery (not the first one, but the next one) to wait for another half a century to be recognized by haughty official scientific establishment!

That is why I broke the tradition, did not let this acheavement to wayt for next half a century to be recognized. No matter of the publication in the scientific magazine, people should know NOW, what bigfoot/sasquatch is.

As I know, one third of population of the USA believe in exuiosting of these creatures. And they deserve to know WHAT THEY ARE.

Now Igor…. Lord seems like everyone who wants a piece of the Bigfoot DNA pie is jumping on the DNA train.

i dunno… wasnt this DNA thing supposed to be the “holy grail” for bigfooters?
