Maybe the bigfoot creature is close to an “unevolved” human. Which would mean that they do “play” with their food, (ie) to teach skills with hunting or play. Or maybe, they are closer to us than we think. The Ape-Canyon event was ongoing over a few days, the men were prospecting and obviously were paranoid with “Gold Fever”. They shot and killed one bigfoot and chased another through the woods that was watching them from behind a tree. After they killed the one, It’s companions returned to (supposedly) seek revenge. Now if this does not sound like “human” type behavior I don’t know what does.

As for losing pets, I’ve lost a couple. And I feel for anyone who has had to go through this. So, here is my question: Does bigfoot with his human -type attributes have pets? And does he find human females attractive enough to steal them?

That’s a very interesting observation, Shumway. That hadn’t occurred to me.

onething we cannot be sure of is how they react when their females come into “heat”. we know how all the known primates react, but I also know that many other non-primate animals can smell or sense when a woman is on her period. if they fight in order to mate, then it could be possible (if the killings are true) that the big foot was highly aggitated or irritable, and a group of women screaming might be enough to set it off. but I will say that in my many years of researching big foot stories, the only one I have ever heard of a violent big foot came from a relative of mine, and the only victims of the creature’s wrath was logging equipment that got thrown around or turned over. The only “violence” towards humans directly was “screaming” and throwing of rocks to scare the people away, and that was because they entered its territory. That was on the gcbro website, someone from riverside, california

I had a one-eyed cat once, named Vergil, died of feline leukemia at age 17. I grew up with him, and oddly enough, he was a sort of father figure for me, or at least a steadfast protector. I still miss him and his successor, Homer.

As sad as perhaps it is to say, killing for pleasure is an aspect of play in many animals- Cats and Killer Whales in particular. Both will toy with their prey, sometimes for many hours, merely to amuse themselves, and then abandon the carcass, uneaten, afterwards. Killer Whales greatly enjoy playing football with seal pups, most likely because it’s fun. Play, however, is a sign of intelligence, which is why you don’t find it in say, Dung Beetles or Sea Slugs, and play can be seen as a form of learning. Those sadistic Cats and Killer Whales will likely improve their ability to take down prey BECAUSE of their cruel actions. Humans may be an exception, because after all, it’s hard to see how incinerating ants or kicking puppies can improve their hunting skills, but Sasquatch likely exhibit occasionally cruel play behaviour as well.

One thought- The article mentions “The Bear That Lives Underwater”, a possible reference to a Giant Beaver? They’re still seen in the Utah area, and even if extinct, Native Americans in the Connecticut area have legends regarding these animals living in an ancient lake, and how it dried up. Might be interesting to investigate the legends more…

it’s hard losing a pet.people who don’t have pets don’t realise how attached you get to them.:-(
Now if we could teach cats to hunt bigfoot we may be onto something!

Hymie died in Feburary (sp?) he was 17 too. He Never went outside and I had to have him on a special diet due to bladder chrystals anyway. He only weight nine pounds.

Miss him checking to see if I was awake.

I have owned cats(or rather they have owned me) for over 30 years. all my cats eat what they kill. yours must be too well fed they can’t go against their survival instincts which is to chase what moves and kill it.
My oldest cat at the moment is 17 and a devil for catching birds and mice.He catches more than the young one.I don’t like it but have to accept it if I share my home with them.Unfortunately I can’t train them to use the vacuum cleaner to clean up the resultant feathers.

“…Ever. watch a house cat with a mouse or a lizard? ”

Or a cockroach. Though I must note Hymie never learned to kill. Still he gave me some dirty looks when I squished the roaches with my shoe!

I miss that cat.

“June 6th, 2006 at 5:03 pm
Human beings are the most violent creatures on earth. An animal will only attack for instinctive reasons,because it’s afraid, for protection, food or you are invading it’s habitat etc. Human beings will attack for kicks…”

Animals only kill for food or defense and never for kicks? Ever watch a house cat with a mouse or a lizard?

This is a good piece, however, I can describe lots of instances of humans being kind, that does not mean all of them are. I can describe scenes of murderers being kind or timid one day, killing people the next. Because a sasquatch ran from people shooting at him does not mean he is non-violent, it just means he doesn’t have a bullet-proof vest.
