Baby Bigfoot Seller Writes In
Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 12th, 2006
Dominick Perez, the self-proclaimed Maine baby Bigfoot or Yarwen alleged poacher and alleged seller, writes in to Cryptomundo on Tuesday, 9/12/2006 at 5:24 PM:
the article was funny, although the owner of [deleted] didn’t appreciate one of your lunatic readers blaring his car horn at 2 am and demanding to see the bigfoot for a half hour. i haven’t lived there in years the police were finally called and he’s won an all expense paid trip to the local jail.
wether your readers believe or not is irrelevant. a wealthy individual now owns the beast, and i’m on easy street. if he chooses to exhibit it that’s on him. thanks for the free publicity!
p.s. someone on your site posted a comment that i am promoting a fraudulent insurance scam. if the moron would have actually read our website he would see that our products are provided by some of the best known companies in the industry. but considering the intelligence level of the average visitor to your site, judging by the [deleted] from last night, i doubt they would be able to understand any of it anyway!
I guess there is no need to give any more attention to this gentleman. We will await contact from the “mystery owner” or the promised forthcoming news conference, but Mr. Perez and his alleged millionaire status will not get any more notice here.

About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
IF this tale is true, and if Bigfoot proves to be what I suspect (Meganthropus) then killing the adult was by definition HOMICIDE and taking the baby KIDNAPPING.
Interesting, will see where this ends up.
To Sky King – I don’t particularly care if you think me competent or not. I reckon my time and resources spent in working on this puzzle are well worth it.
To all others, as the particular species of this creature has not been actually determined, yet, I suspect that terms such as ‘homicide’ and ‘kidnapping’ are a bit pre-mature.
This DP fella doesn’t know much about these animals as evidenced in his dissertation. His fantasy is missing a few key ingredients to come even close to being laughable. He is just another wanna-be that is trying to get his 15 minutes of fame and fortune.
After all that. I am wondering what would actually happen if I came up with a Bigfoot. Would the government take it away from me. Would I be charge with kidnapping, would someone offer money to me for it, or would the Blue Book boys have me erased? Interesting to think about. Maybe I should just go get one and see, I know where they hang out, so why not?
Anyone know how to build a Bigfoot Trap???
Ok it’s obvious that this guy has spent a little too much time in the Meth lab and not enough time trying to become a competent, contributing member of society…
Y’know, in this day and age, it is not possible to obtain $17 million and avoid the IRS. Big brother watches financial transactions very carefully and all ‘suspicious’ transactions are investigated by the FBI. That agency also has contacts in the IRS, and more than likely interacts with any applicable state tax and investigatory agencies. So assume for a moment, that our Genius-at-Large did score his windfall, his troubles are just beginning. It will begin with a phone call to the effect of, “Good morning Mr. Perez, we’d like to congratulate you on your recent windfall. In fact, we’d like to discuss it with you and ensure that you have not been taken advantage of. Come on down to the Federal Building, and we shall visit for awhile.”
FYI – They don’t care one iota about the animal, only the money. Currently there are NO Federal agencies that have any interest in this creature, at all.
If you come into the possession of one, your biggest fear should be from the competing organizations in the BF community and the manner in which they will attempt to discredit you.
*highfives Sunny* Go crypto-chicks! 😛
DP needs to get a ride to the mall from mommy and find a new hobby.
