Bigfoot hunters think they’ve found DNA evidence [EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS]

Yeah, it sounds dodgy to me. Why does these things always end up with these people asking for money. I am sure that they could find a company who will do it for free, or a very small price.

Don't they do this on Springer for free? Whose your daddy?

I agree that it does seem a bit fishy. But this type of DNA testing isn't the average "Paternity type" testing which usually runs only about $100,00. I would love to see it done and either find a new species or simply a BEAR.

If it came back as a new species then we might have something here.

We have no DNA comparison for a Bigfoot so obviously it will come back as unknown. You can only assume the DNA makeup will come back as it has been theorized but there is still nothing to compare it to that would make most yell at the mountain tops we finally found it.

Basically, when the day comes there is one actually caught or an acutal body or bones most people won't believe it even if it's real.

I have had my run ins with the Honey island swamp Bigfoot/beast. I have been through all of the excuses from Bears to Panthers, but we have small black Bears and not alot, we have a very very low population of Panthers, and I have seen and heard an unknown animal that looks like a Bigfoot.

They are very slick. When you get these shows and groups of more than a few people out there with their lights and heavy noises a creature like this WILL elude. I have experienced my best evidence with silence on treks of lucidity. People have to quit charging in, go in like a spy, no trail cams, no tricks, just 1 small camera and a voice recorder. Thats the best chance IMO.

Don't forget a weapon, at least not down here, or your ass may end up getting gored by a monster hog or a gator.

Surely, there would be tv companies out there who would fund this. Esp ones that deal in documentries and stuff? I have watched other documentries and they have done dna testing and stuff. I personally think they just want money.

I did a thread on this here even went live with the conference.
No one seemed to care.

Wouldn't their be a branch of science that in the interest of humanity and the planet take this and make sure it is done and the specimen is protected and the utmost care is taken...doesn't this discovery belong to humanity as a whole and so cannot belong or be dependent on private funding but I forget the term...let me go look it up...

Anyway I hope they find something missing linkish.

I feel ya man. It happens.

Serious
It happened to me a few times and lots of people.
Like old school days.
Slayer here is one of the popular kids and the rest of us are nerds who nobody listens to.

Well isn't that sort of what they are asking for?
Advertising their situation so that maybe a TV company or somebody else with funds and experience etc can step in and finance the situation? Also if it were me [Again I'm not going to speak to the legitimacy of this story] but if it were me I'd like to maintain total control so as not to be swept under by some large production company or university etc.

This would be the greatest find in recent history.
I suspect there would be a large sum of cash to be made as well.

Any way.
If you guys want to watch the video from the conference that was held on 6-23-11.Here it is

I'm watching it now, thanks.

As for the [EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS] are concerned.
I posted them here the second they went public on 6-23-11.
Just saying

Regarding my own question of who owns scientific discoveries I find the answer is vague..

This thing called Science, whatever it is, who actually owns it? Scientists? Technology companies? Industrial Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical companies? Investors? Shareholders? Governments? Universities? Philanthropists? Charities? Publishers? Joe Public? Or none of the above…?

There is no creative common. This link was interesting - not exactly on topic but related maybe to who might pay for the DNA testing and why..duncan.hull.name...

The Public. Since we all benefit from it, and pay for it through our taxes, and charitable donations, we all own it. The public at large own science, as John Ziman once put it, “Science is Public Knowledge”. According to this definition, you could argue, if it’s not in the public domain, then it’s not Science. All that secret science that goes on inside commercial companies, behind closed doors? It’s not Science, until it’s public. That means YOU, yes you, Jo / Joe Public, everybody reading this owns Science.

That's why I think there may some shenanigans going on with this DNA.
You would think if they believe they have BF DNA they would pay for it, mortgage the farm what ever it takes.
They stand to make millions from the discovery.

I did a search under this articles title and it came up with nothing.
I appreciate the link

Thanks for the thumbs up Slayer
Must have been a slow day on ATS lol.

I skimmed through it, much of the same, a story of the elements and then the same ol' pictures with some prints. If I said I had DNA from weird activities on my # when I leave the site for awhile I would have 30 videos on Youtube.

The person that gets a bigfoot one day will be the one you least expect, just watch.

The most they'll get out of this is "undocumented primate". Bigfoot has so many legends and mystical stuff surrounding it that, even though an undiscovered primate is quite mundane all in all, that it would take several dozen carcasses for anybody to actually take its existence seriously.

Or one piece of mitochondrial evidence....

For those who haven't already read/participated yet and are interested in further details on the subject of Bigfoot/Sasquatch etc. I've written a large thread with regards to some of the bigger questions some have as to the reality of the possibility of such a creature existing.

Great discussion and details..

Bigfoot/Sasquatch Fact or Fiction?
