I too, live in "Bigfoot" country, and know several folks who have seen them. But this current circus is a hoax beyound a doubt.
This one smells bad.
Bigfoot may exist, but if these folks have had him on ice for like a month or so, they would easily been able to provide positive biological evidence today. This was their big chance.
I’m a bit angry about it because there are honest, open minded researchers out there, and this kind of scam makes everybody else look bad.
Somebody deserves a whoopin.
Sure sounds that way. Pity!
