Description

There has been debate for some time but has become a popular topic since the 1950s. there have been multiple claims that are mostly based on personal experience. These are difficult to validate. The activity of validation of the claim appears to be questionable and appears to be hopeful wishing.

My CON point is that if such a large animal exists in a somewhat populated area (yes I know not heavily populated) is strange as you would expect that it would be a common occurrence. You see bears all the time in the woods so why not these bigfoot? There would have to be a decent population for them to exist for the period of time that they would have existed.

I want to know why these creatures are not seen on a regular basis based on the aspect of their size and time they have been reported.

Reason:

Pro doesn't provide any sufficient evidence to say that bigfoot exists and barely provides much of an argument.

Reason:

The whole debate was based on one thing: Can you prove something exists without there being evidence of it? (ps there needs to be some kind of proof from pro to make this a debate in the first place)
