You do not ever want to drink out of beaver pond. Fair warning.

Another team of scientists studied trees along the stream and stated, “beavers are hell on trees”.

If properly cleaned, beavers make for good eating.

They can have ours. One day I planted 7 apple trees, THAT NIGHT they chewed three of them down before I could get back with the wires screen the next day.

I was p!ssed at first, but hey it’s what beavers do.

I guess British beavers are more environmentally correct than American ones. More stupidity from across the pond as bucktoothed Brits praise their bucktoothed fur bearing kin.

Beavers here are good only for being shot, skinned, eaten, their pelts utilized, and their farm wrecking dams blown sky high.

The beavers turned the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone into a marshy wilderness paradise until wolves showed up and wiped them out.

I've posted this on FR before. Heavily armed beavers will make you rethink your position.
