>>1358837But was there ever a debate of if snow leopards existed at all? No, because we found remains of them. That's the thing about animals, they tend to die and then leave behind corpses and eventually skeletons, which humans can easily find because they no longer move. Even if scattered by other forces we still find individual bones.
Also you know, people had fucking seen snow leopards before. They were a well documented species.
And of course, we eventuality found them again. It didn't take too much work either.
That's the thing about animals that actually exist. You find evidence of them. It usually doesn't take a lot of work either. Compare that to bigfoot, an animal that supposedly lives on every continent (in some variation) and is supposedly seen dozens of times a week, yet NEVER has a body been found. Not even a bone. None have ever been captured. Nobody has ever even managed to get a non-blurry picture of video. And this is with a huge community of people out there dedicated to trying to find it.
Sorry but it's bullshit. To believe in bigfoot you have to be the kind of person who chooses what they believe first, and looks for evidence second.
