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 it’s 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 there’s no active investigation.
There’s 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.”

Never killed a Beaver, but there was this one time in Daytona I pounded one like a screen door in a hurricane.
I’ve put a hurtin’ on a few beavers myself. Dangit if they didn’t keep coming back for more...
Knew some guys that adored beavers but none that ever killed one.
What they needed was a star/celebrity. He would have grabbed the beaver with the beaver’s permission. CNN would then have given the grabbed beaver 24/7 coverage for at least a week.
two beaver are better than one
they’re twice the fun
ask anyone
two beavers are better than one

Doesn’t matter how adorable a beaver is, somewhere some guy is sick of it.
Ain’t it the truth!
Winner.
That headline: a tale as old as time. If I’ve seen it once, I’ve seen it a thousand times.
Did they make it into a seat cover for their pickup?

Look on youtube. Beaver can be extremely dangerous to humans, no joke. An angry beaver is not to be messed with.
Now a .22 will turn angry beaver into pelt & meat for the pot, but they aren’t house pets.
Johnie Lad, Cock Up Your Beaver
When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town,
He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown;
But now he has gotten a hat and a feather,
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!
Cock up your beaver, and cock it fu’ sprush,
We’ll over the border, and gie them a brush;
There’s somebody there we’ll teach better behaviour,
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!
Robert Burns, 1791
You can’t beat a friendly beaver.
Robbie Burna' works long a favorite of mine. Never saw that one.
I can’t believe I missed this reference.
Watch and enjoy.
