What's the # 1 reason to disbelieve the existence of Bigfoot

No specimens. Living or dead.

  

I would have to say, it is probably due to a "Lack of Solid Evidence"...


One would think that with all the technology that we have today, and with humans living just about everywhere on the planet... Their existence should have been proven by now.

But then again, it was hard to believe that in 2014, a major passenger plane could simply disappear without a trace... and yet one did!


I think many people today have this belief that because we have a lot of technology, and that we went to the moon 50 years ago... "That there is no more to learn" about our planet... Maybe, "we've only just begun"!


I try to be open minded to the possibility...

But, as I suggested, there is just SO little evidence, and nothing "SOLID"...

What ever "solid" means.

Mainly because due to a lack of evidence and the geographical region where Bigfoot is suppose to exist.

In contrast, the Yeti, while there is also a lack of evidence, he's supposed to live in a remote geographical region which makes the lack of evidence more plausible even if does exist.

I'd assume that most mountain climbers are not experts in identifying footprints so it might simply be case of misidentification of another animal. A study made in 2013 by a British scientist tested what was supposed to be Yeti fur and concluded that the hairs were a match for a bear and that while there might be a an animal behind the legend, it will probably be something less spectacular than giant ape.  Maybe an unknown subspecies of bear that lives in the region. 

For one, the lack of bodies. We find bodies of deer, bears, wolves, mountain lions, everything you can imagine. But nobody has ever produced a Bigfoot body.

But bigger than that, I'm going to say it's the advances in surveilling these places. In the last 20 years or so the number of good quality cameras in the US has gone up maybe tenfold. It's a rare person that doesn't have a camera. I remember a scene in Close Encounters where somebody points out that we don't have clear pictures of a UFO/alien spaceship, and a news guy points out that the news has never filmed a plane crash or even a car chase live and gotten it on the news. Well, now we have the plane crashes, the car crashes, and every other rare-but-real event you can name. We have million-to-one stuff like lightning strikes right next to the camera, you name it - because with two hundred million cameras being used daily, you get that stuff.

Then throw in the advent of trail cameras, so you don't even have to rely on actually happening to be in the same place at the same time as a Bigfoot. There's trail cameras strung up in trees all over the place. But no Bigfoot pictures.

And even more than that... these days the forest service does aerial surveys of animal populations. You fly over with an imaging infra-red camera and you can count whole populations of all sorts of animals. We get bears, wolves, deep, everything. Everything but Bigfoot.

So now we're to assume that there's a large animal out there... that nobody ever manages to film. Nobody ever finds a body of. That never walks in front of a trail camera. That never shows up on a wide-area survey. Not ever, year after year after year. I don't buy it.

Oh, and a more minor one - there was a show called "Finding Bigfoot", which was about a team of people trying to find a Bigfoot (imaginative name!). There were nine seasons covering ninety episodes over seven years. They never found a single Bigfoot.

Says it all, really.
