Now, taking all of that information into consideration, why would the Timber Industry want for the Sasquatch to be proven to be a real animal living in North America? I can think of no reason it would want that. I doubt the Timber Industry would care for a repeat of the Spotted Owl incident. Would it not be better for the Timber Industry that the truth about the Sasquatch to remain hidden to all? Yes, then it would be business as usual.

So, what could the Timber Industry do to either stop or slow the acceptance of the Sasquatch as a species? One of the possibilities could be an advanced campaign of misinformation. The point of this campaign would be to convince the general public that the Sasquatch is only believed to be real by fools.

The tools of this campaign might be easily proven hoaxes and widespread media reported claims of unbelievable encounters. The hoaxes could be as simple as having a few highly trusted employees take a couple of poorly constructed plywood stompers and leave tracks in places where they would be easy to locate. A location where the men could possibly be seen while laying out the false trail could even be of use. The stompers would need to be of the worst quality to clearly indicate that the tracks are fakes. This deed could be accomplished by cutting the plywood in the poorest image of a foot possible. Then, leave the edges of the "foot" unsanded, that way the impression would appear not to have been made by a living creature. Even the use of rope as a fastener, to hold the stomper to the hoaxer's foot, could be used in a way to add to the counterfeit quality of the resulting print. All of these signs would indicate that no Sasquatch made these tracks, and the news media could spin this information to say; "If these tracks are not real, then all of the others are probably fake too." After all, guilt by association can be very real for people with closed minds.

Another tool to aid in the discrediting of Sasquatch sightings would be wide spread accounts of fabricated encounters. This could be easily done with the assistance of tabloid newspapers. A front company, set up by a Timber Industry firm, could acquire large 'advertising' spaces in a set number of issues per year. Then, instead of using the space for advertisement, the tabloid is paid to generate false Sasquatch stories. The only catch is that these stories would have to be the most unbelievable tripe imaginable. "Bigfoot is the father of my five children," or "Terrorists brainwash Bigfoot to act as a suicide bomber," for example. The information in the stories themselves does not matter, only the resulting disbelief they create among the general public.

Hoaxed photographs, or videos, of a man in an obvious gorilla suit walking through a forested area would be of a great assistance to this part of the endeavor. These images can be presented as "proof" against the reality of the Sasquatch in other media outlets, such as the "Hard Copy" type of, so called, television news shows.

Then, when there is a genuine sighting reported, the witness is treated as an idiot for stating that he/she has seen a Sasquatch. All thanks to a campaign of misinformation.
