The part about the report saying there were 100,000 deaths so far and his on-air colleague asking if he ‘saw’ them was hilarious.
“No, John, I’m 5 miles outside town, but 100,000 death toll is what we’re assessing it as.”
Reporter: we are reporting rapes, murders, and acts of cannibalism.
News anchor: oh my, you’ve actually seen acts of cannibalism?
Reporter: no we haven’t, we are just reporting it.
We have a serious beaver problem also. I have the plans for that drainage system you mentioned and it seems quite workable. With this system the beaver are allowed to damage property.
For land owners like us that have a beautiful aspen forest by the lake it is just sickening to go out one morning and see several 30 foot tall aspens laying on the ground.
The best way to save the trees is to kill off the beaver by shooting, trapping or other means. Yes they do come back, so the problem is perpetual.
A neighbor who has the “they were here first” attitude lets them run wild. What was once a half acre slough is now a 25 acre lake which killed thousands of trees and made it so the typical wildlife such as deer, turkey, raccoon etc etc etc have less habitat for their survival.
The dams are made of tree limbs, mud and rock. Over the years they gradually build to 10 - 15 feet high which means just an awful lot of water behind them. When the tree limbs and other organics start to rot the dam weakens and busts flooding downstream wiping out more trees, crops and property.
I shoot the bastards on sight!!!
I have 3 acres of land that is now usable for pasture land that was once lake or swamp and all it cost me was three 22lr rounds. I shoot them on site.
This is right in the downtown area in a park...Beaverton has huge nutria too....ran over one once with a Porsche...yuck
The LIBS in Oregon are stupid....there are CONS here
If you just tried to reason with the beavers* violence wouldn’t be necessary...
I was thinking of calling the Florida Fish and Wildlife dept to bring half a ton of dynamite and fix things the way they fixed the whale.
Careful - that blowing up the whale was in Oregon too. don’t give them any ideas.
I did not see mention of Venezuelan Beaver Cheese, so this must not be too much of a problem. If one had to eat beaver cheese, it really should be Venezuelan.
My mistake, it was Oregon. Probably the all time classic video.
I’m just surprised that a certain Primus song hasn’t shown up.
