MYFOXNY.COM -- The NYPD's Harbor Unit, patrolling the East River near the United Nations as a part of security operations for the Pope's visit, rescued an apparently sick beaver from the water.
The ever-vigilant harbor cops spotted the animal, which appeared to be having trouble breathing and struggled to swim, not far from the U.N., where the Pope was speaking.

Police Officer John Angus caught the beaver in a safety noose, pulled it aboard, and placed it in a bucket with water. Officers brought the beaver to shore for transport to an animal hospital.
They did not say if they considered the animal to be a security risk.
But "it has pretty big claws," said Lt. John Harkins of the NYPD SCUBA team. He indicated the beaver was four feet long and about 40 pounds.
No word if the beaver was trying to get a closer look at the Pope.

Eerily reminiscent of Jimmy Carter and the Killer Rabbit incident.

LOL, agreed. I thought the same thing. Did the Pope use an oar on the critter? ;-)
The poor beaver. He’s swimming in the East River and they can’t figure out what is wrong with him. Well, for starters, he’s swimming in the East River. LOL
I may be off base regarding the East River. It may not be that dirty.

Well, for starters, hes swimming in the East River. Could be worse, he could be wearing four tiny cement shoes at the BOTTOM of the river.

I thought at first that maybe this was a “beaver” trying to get away from Elliot Spitzer but then I suppose he just wanted to dam up the east River
