WOLSELEY, Sask. Some people in a small Saskatchewan community say they are disgusted and disappointed after a beaver was beaten to death with a chair.
Residents say surveillance video from a bakery in Wolesley showed four men leaving a bar on Friday and going after the rodent.
Resident Joselyn Linnell says the beaver had been hanging out around the village for about a year.
Linnell says the animal appears to have hissed at the men before it was killed.
She says its sad to think there are people in Wolesley who would do that sort of thing.
RCMP say they are looking into a report that came in Saturday morning, but theres no active investigation.
Theres no word on whether a dead or injured beaver was found.
Animal Protection Services says anyone found guilty of inhumanely killing an animal faces a maximum penalty of 18 months in jail and/or a fine of up to $25,000.
Very ashamed. This is a good town with good people in it, said another resident, Candice Malo. Doing that to an animal is disgusting.
Linnell said the beaver was considered to be a friendly guy.

Nothing like a good beaten beaver story to finish out the day.

Activist beaver bs if you read the article they are blaming beaver culls leading to insensitivity to beavers.

So I guess they’re saying:
Can’t beat it with a stick.

Or, be careful when you put the wood to the beaver.

Lurking around the neighborhood constantly, hissing at people coming out of bars, ostensibly a "nice guy."
Sounds like Mr. Beaver was a Jehovah Witness.
