Rescuers are pleading for Nibi the beaver to remain in captivity until at least next spring.
Following public outcry and pleas from her rescuers, a 2-year-old beaver named “Nibi” will not be released back into the wild Tuesday.
More than 22,000 people have signed a petition to protect Nibi, who was raised at Newhouse Wildlife Rescue in Chelmsford after she was found orphaned on the side of a busy road.

A total waste of time and money.
I can’t believe 22000 people are concerned.
Free Nibi! Free Nibi!
Why are you preventing it from living its best life? Let her go in Boston Commons!
Maybe waste more taxpayer $$’s and court time by building her a dam...but only if you gnaw the sticks yourselves...
Jeeezzz.
Are they just pretending that the Chevron decision did not happen?
We should be dismantling huge portions of the federal government- not making more of them
This is State not Federal.
Loper Bright was about federal agency authority, not state.
With so many illegal Haitians running around you can never be to careful.
Lol! I’m just here for the jokes.
