Somewhere on the borderlands of our world and at the edge of our understanding, they live. The Wildman; the Yeti. Sasquatch... Bigfoot. A man-like being, with hands and feet so similar to our own. Walking on two legs; with a face so much like ours. But most often reported as being covered with hair. Not so much fur, but hair. And one other thing: a giant, by our standards. It is not our intent here to convince of their existence. It is, however, our intent to encourage research of this being, and not only to research, but also to do it in a truly ethical manner. This is no typical animal. They exhibit high intelligence. Some say they use language and build things in the forest. Symbolic things. And they are extremely shy and elusive. Other species have managed to escape our notice for hundreds or thousands of years. More new kinds of animals are discovered periodically, even to this day. But although his ability to elude us may be unusual, that is not what makes the Wildman unique. What makes him unique is the Question. If he were just another ape, it would be an interesting thing, but it would not arouse the passion that the Bigfoot arouses in those who research him. Let no one fool you. It is the Question that makes this field and this study so different. And that Question, formed in so many ways, always boils down to this: Could he be one of us? It is this question, the Question, that makes the scientific study of the Bigfoot enter into a different realm than the mere study of just another unknown species. Medical, scientific, philosophic, spiritual, and so many other branches of ethics suddenly come into the arena. Our methods cannot involve the simple "taking of a specimen," if that would risk the taking of a life of something possibly human, or even partly human. Since we cannot know that with any certainty, ethics would dictate a level of caution that we do not usually afford the study of a simple animal. We must go the extra mile. Friends of Bigfoot seeks to encourage that cautious, ethical research. We wish to promote this higher standard among those doing Bigfoot research by identifying and promoting organizations, websites and individuals that have made this ethical choice. Surely in this day of technological advancement, there are many ways to study and learn, short of killing or injuring the subject. And in any case, is our need to know really greater than these beings' personal need to live? Welcome to Friends of Bigfoot. Cliff Jones, Sr. |

Featured Websites and Organizations There are as many approaches to the study of Bigfoot as there are researchers. However, the following websites and organizations have one common denominator. They have gone on record in promoting a non-violent method of research. We applaud their courageous stance in the face of so much opposition, which this position currently receives. If your website or organization shares our no-kill philosophy, and you would like to be featured here, please email us with your request and provide the URL of your website. Please note that Friends of Bigfoot does not necessarily endorse nor is endorsed by these organizations, and their appearance here is in appreciation of their non-hostile research policies.
