Todd Standing at it again! Bigfoot going to court...
https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/tracke...ists-1.4052170
A B.C. man is taking the provincial government to court for allegedly damaging his credibility in not acknowledging that the sasquatch, also known as Bigfoot, may exist.
Tracker and documentarian Todd Standing will make his case that the species is real Tuesday when he appears in a New Westminster courtroom. He says he has evidence “way beyond a reasonable doubt” that the species exists.
“If this was a murder trial, I would just annihilate it,” he told CTV’s Your Morning on Tuesday. “I’m going to overwhelm them with evidence.”
He says he will present testimony from police officers, fishery officers, engineers, nurses and doctors who say they have witnessed the species. Standing, who charges US$4800 for week-long sasquatch-seeking expeditions, has plans to file similar suits in Alberta and Washington state, where he says sasquatch can also be found.
In 2017, Standing filed a civil lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court, claiming the provincial government was in “dereliction of duty” for not recognizing the evidence Standing and others have gathered. He says B.C. Fish and Wildlife are attempting to get the case thrown out.
A decade ago, Standing first took to the forests in efforts to disprove the existence of Bigfoot. “Obviously, I was completely wrong,” he said. He has since worked with First Nations trackers and compiled evidence from others who say they have spotted the species. None of his evidence includes living or dead samples, though he says he has filmed Bigfoot several times, some of which is shown in his 2017 documentary Discovering Bigfoot.
None of it has convinced B.C. Fish and Wildlife, which has refused to recognize his work for a decade. “They’ve been denying it for 10 years,” he says. “Now I’m going to take them to court and prove that sasquatch exists beyond a reasonable doubt.”
If he is successful in court, he says that provincial wildlife officials will have to join him on a search for a sasquatch, complete an ecological survey and recognize the species’ existence.
“It’s the discovery of the millennium,” he said. “To understand a primate species has been in North America this whole time and we haven’t been able to discover them. The reason for that is because they are trackers, because they are intelligent, because they’re an incredible species. What inspires me to move forward? The miracle that this species exists blows my mind.”
This guy seems to be CooCoo for Coco Puffs! I'm surprised a guy like Les Stroud spent anytime at all with him.

I emailed that guy a few years ago and had the unadulterated nerve to ask for solid evidence, and the exact location of his "sylvanic" (nicely) so I could go and see for myself.
WOW!
He sent a real nasty reply with a temper tantrum that would make a lib-lefty or "ufo believer" proud! He was mad at me for not taking his word as Gospel.
Needless to say, what paper-thin credibility he barely had went right out the window.
If he's gonna sue anyone for that, he better produce a body.

Still wondering how the heck this guys allowed pack around a big revolver in the woods, he obviously has some mental things going on up stairs.
I don’t even act crazy, I don’t chase around fake Bigfoot’s.
I wanna pack around a big revolver, just cuz, you know justin case I run into some nut job chasing around fake Bigfoot’s in the bush🤠
He reminds me of that weird bear freak kid off of Alaska bush people, just another fake knob-end!

Anything new on this? When's his court date?
There's this in the news today, anything to bring in some money. Then again you never know

He goes by many different names and is feared by some, but in one North Carolina mountain town, Bigfoot is celebrated.

The word on the street (in the woods as well) is that he is actually married to one of the lady (for wont of a better word) sasquatches and wants the legal recognition for tax purposes!

There it is folks. He's not crazy. He's not smoking crack. He's just another guy who knows how to whip the media and gullible people into a frenzy for free advertising.

We had a poll posted here in 2009 and according
to results 25% of votes- “yes I believe Sasquatch exists” 
35% said - “ possible”
Look at link above

Believing that the Sasquatch exists is one thing - to say it exists without proof is another .

Standing is a bit late on the Big Foot thing.
They have been around for millions of years, and probably been to the moon long before humans arrive on earth.
I hang around with lots of Big Foots out West.
Hunting, Camping, Fishing, sight seeing, and hoo-downing at the camp fire.
They really like playing Banjos and dancing too. Ha

Does he carry a real pistol or some replica all for show? If its real perhaps all us lawful gun owner should CFC and report a safety concern about a mentally unstable person being allowed to own firearms.
When this does go to court I would love to see the judge put the case on hold until bigfoot can be served a subpoena or better yet have Todd commited to a mental facility under the Mental Health Act.

Is he a member of APOS in good standing (pun intended)?

Yeah, he packs a real one. Cannot fathom how he managed to get a permit.

Never thought of asking for a permit to carry for sasquatch attacks so stupid it might just work.

You guys are gonna be sorry when they finally find real proof, ie: body. Just saying it is possible, too many people have had encounters. We'll see I guess.
On a different note, its time to update the emoji's and get a bigfoot one in there.
