I didn’t think we needed concrete evidence to warrant further study. That doesn’t make sense. We have a lot of circumstantial evidence which deserves further study. I’ll take the word of an expert who’s studied the footprints for decades when he says that some would be more or less impossible to fake

So you’re saying leprechauns are comparable to a human like primate in feasibility? If we had dna evidence, thousands of visual sightings and tracks and fur of course it would be enough to look into it further. That’s what science is, studying things that you have evidence for to see if it’s true

But we have physical bones of currently known animal species that have lived and died in North America for tens of thousands of years. We don’t have one bit of concrete evidence of a supersized human like primate. Tracks can be faked, it is possible and I’m sure you can agree. Everything had been unknown to us at one time. New species are always being discovered.

For the sake of argument, if you enough people claim to see a chupacabras, or more unlikely, leprechauns let’s say, and all we had were eyewitness accounts and unknown tracks and fur, should this be enough to spend public funding searching for these animals?

That’s a fair point but maybe they toss their dead into a lake or take them deep into a cave.

we have found non human primate dna, hair samples from unknown creatures, hundreds of footprints that aren’t just fake tracks that some teenagers put there.(see professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho state Jeff Meldrum) Thousands of credible visual sightings from experienced woodsmen.

Based on that you would think it’s worthy of further study by the government. The govt loves wasting money on shit like this and yet they’ve done nothing. That’s weird to me

Umm…yeah. I was at the Route 91 Harvest festival in 2017. The lady right next to me got shot in the neck. Had I been leaning forward, it would have been me killed. I’m not a “Lib.” I just know there’s no reason why we shouldn’t have better gun control laws.

I don’t think she is doing identity theft. It is even worse than that. I think she asked for it so she can try to see if it is “fake” and try to somehow check immigration status with that. I used date a girl that was born in Mexico and she had people pull this kind of shit with her it is disgusting. I used to have that in the back of my mind in these little shit towns that Karen would get pissed she was with a white dude and try making trouble.
